I'm a firefly flitting along thinking grandiose things to myself all the better to bedazzle you my little honey bee my flashing neon tail hypnotizes and enthralls my honey bee love Yes, yes, we are of mixed breeds but I love the honey my honey bee gives and she loves my flashing, hot to trot tail when the children came what a delight to one and all they had a honey bucket on their tails and on their breasts a flashing, see all light ©April 21, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ How does Moses make his tea?

Fireflys in the Summer bring out the kid in me, in a lot of us, and what is sweeter than honey. Gee, this makes me think of Taj Mahal's Queen Bee, which I just put on as I read your delicious poem ![]() |

I thank you, Emma, for the cute comments. It's been much too long since I've heard Taj Mahal's Queen Bee. I'm going there now. ~*~ How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (04-28-2013 12:07 PM).] |

I remember the fireflies from my childhood. I nver see them where I live now. I wonder why. Very cute tale. Love, Joyce |

Thank you, Joyce, for checking out my little poem. I remember the fireflies from my youth also, but like you, I never notice them anymore. It could be it is because I live in the city instead of a small country town where I was raised. ~*~ How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. ~*~ |

Enjoyed this walk on the lighter side, Jer. I used to be mesmerized by fireflies when I was younger... sad how that innocence is lost, isn't it? Michael |

Yes, Michael, it is sad that innocence gets pushed and shoved until it is no more. Appreciate your kind words. ~*~ How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. ~*~ |

Thanks Kat. Since Joyce and I got to talking about the fireflies I have been keeping an eye out for the cute little beacons of light, but alas and drat! I have n'er seen one firefly. I live in a moderate-sized city, on the small side of that moderate city. Maybe if I keep my vigil I will come across some soon. I appreciate your stopping by. ~*~ How does Moses make his tea?

It is still a little too early and cool (they are still predicting snow!) for the fireflies here. We had such a mild (yet long drawn out) winter, we are expecting an over abundance of bugs this season. Enjoyed the write Jerry lori ![]() |
