Little girl basks in their glow6 total reviews
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
This is so charming, reminding me of my childhood days. Love the artwork, and really love the font style and color you chose for your poem.
You used exceptional internal and ending rhymes and met the other qualifications for the contest.
Very best wishes!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a perfect theme to draw many readers in. Some will be invited to reminisce about their childhood tradition. Some will want to research the prospect more. Some will regret that they have never seen a firefly. Others like people in my area call them lightning bugs. My dear dog whose stage name was Sweet Puppy in my book Be Wee With Bea thought they were lightning. She would start shaking when one was outsie the window or in our bedroom. his is a nice poem and I am voting for it.

Thank you for your read and review. Right we also called them lightning bugs. My dog would try to catch them, but never was successful.
Comment from Cindy Warren
That's pretty. I've never seen a firefly and I'd like to. We don't have them here. I'm sure if we did had I'd have been catching them as a kid.

Thanks for the read and the review. It was fun trying to catch them.

This is a great topic well-presented, Mystery Author.
It is a complex style of contest. The rules state an
internal rhyme in each line--I do not see that in
eiter line. The end rhyme is there. Perhaps you will
revise. I will return later. Thanks for sharing. Jan

Comment from Lobber
Alas, I'm 72 and never collected fireflies- not even a bottle (how many is that?) ... at time I feel my life is incomplete because of this. Am I too late? Can I get some in the deli? - Lobber

It's never too late. If you have grandchildren, I'm sure they be thrilled to help. That's a no for the deli. Thanks for the read and review.
Comment from Gail Denham
Don't think I've ever seen fireflies out in the open - in our part of the country we do not have them. Must be fun to capture them in a jar and watch them. I wrote a poem once where a boy let his little brother swallow one - oops
