Aw, Marival, isn't this the sweetest of poetry. This is just what a little girl would do and then try to put the fireflies in a bottle. This poem made me smile. Good luck. Un abrazo, Ulla xcx

This is nicely done for the contest, and I am sure that it will bring back memories for a lot of the righteous here on this site two used to follow the fireflies at night. Patricia

When I was young, my brother, Dan and I would go out by the lilac bushes and catch fireflies. That was so much fun. Kids today don't get to do that. One day, Mom needed the car for some reason, so took Dad to work and left Dan and me alone for a few minutes. Our town was small, so it didn't take very long, but long enough for Dan to let the fireflies loose in the house. He wanted to know if they'd light up the house. Thank you for sharing and bringing this memory back.

    We're the fireflies inside the house when your parents came back?

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words. Have a wonderful day.

I followed fireflies at grandma's back yard -- could be just me, but AT doesn't sound right... maybe... TO grandma's backyard? or... IN grandma's backyard?

other than that, a great 20 syllable poem
love the "my heart full of light" line! perfect!

thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and wasn't being a kid special, before life had a chance hammer you with reality? I long to feel that carefree and worry free again

-Nice artwork and presentation, Gypsy.
-You have used your 20 syllables well
with a good topic.
-Effective imagery and alliteration.
-You create a vivid word picture of
times spent with your grandmother.
-I think of those times, as well, and
they bring a sense of comfort and joy.
-In this case enjoying the fireflies
made your "heart full of light."
-A good entry; good luck in the contest.

This was such a soothing poem. Describing a time when the world and life were pretty simple. The excitement for the day was watching fireflies for that fleeting time at night. Those moments that left a mark on a child. Beautiful and memorable. Gretchen
