Fireflies Flicker ~*Marge Tindal*~  In gentle flutter across woodsy glade fireflies flicker in serenade Castanets beat in winged delight staccato of blink within my sight~ I can chase and catch them one by one or simply sit still until they are done Touching with my eyes in glee the firefly flicker that I see~ I can entice them to my hair to sparkle endlessly as I wear firefly flickers in splendorous array throughout this night ... into next day~ On this night in Persimmon Hollow ground fireflies flicker in soft surround Bringing me a jar full of memory's recall from nights gone by when their light covered all~ Let me sit on the old porch swinging as fireflies flicker on light-filled winging~ *For my little buddy, DeeJuneBug* ~Thank you for lighting up my life with delightful tales~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

You can write the most beautiful things, Marge. I remember chasing fireflies. Only we called them lightening bugs. |

Marge: This is a delightful poem! I am so intrigued by fireflies and have never seen one. Have lived in the west or the north all my life. They sound so magical! Betty Lou Hebert |

OhBettyLou~ They ARE magical ! Suddenly right before your eyes the night takes on a fluttering glow of it's own ... they are surely the 'night lanterns' of the Faeries~ I believe~ And DeeJuneBug ... believes too,... don't we little buddy ? *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge And to think, I have never seen a firefly..I think I need to broaden my horizons, don't you? Thank you for giving me a glimpse of their delight in this poem. |

Margie darling sister of my soul what utter utter joy is this fairy delight. As always your pen writes me into rainbow dreams where unicorns play with little cherubs and crystal streams of water tumble over rocks spreading diamond drops of light. Do you realise that this is utterly utterly perfect? Well, beloved heart sister it is, the artwork is stunning and the words as always decorate and lift something stunning into the realms of the incredibly superb. You could give a Masterclass on these too. I told you darling girl we learn by a type of osmosis.    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
