Our Fireflies are Back
and near our house.
You call for me when you
spot them, then notice how your
string of lights by the fence
have turned on and say you
“need to turn them off
so they can do their job.”
No wonder the fireflies also know
home is close to these walls.
home is close to these walls.

A lovely poem! So glad the little bugs are back and shining bright!
Same! I was concerned.
I’ve seen them here too! What a relief.
Glad to hear it.
Simply beautiful, adore the energy in this one
Thank you so much.
Good observation!
Love those fireflies!
I’m so jealous. I haven’t seen any in my neighborhood, not even down by Snaffle Bit Creek. 8-( When I lived in Sadieville many years ago, I’d see swaths of them.
Your delight definitely comes through in this lovely poem.
Beautiful and effective–this poem pulls at the heart.
A moment of welcome and recognition ❤️
