I am delightful company!
Bio
Once upon a time this writer was a reporter/photographer and columnist for a large weekly newspaper in New York City, worked at the Center for Publishing at N.Y.U., worked at Kirkus for one whirlwind semester and eventually was an editor at Scholastic. After two very eventful years on cable television in New York City, this writer was voted off the island. Today this writer is a student and soon-to-be published author (all fingers and toes are crossed) living in reduced circumstances. She is ever hopeful and even though her stomach may rumble from time to time, she is usually somewhat reasonably well fed. Most importantly this writer is a recovering or former New Yorker, (recovering seems more apt), who is quite happily transplanted elsewhere. She blooms where she is planted. ************************ You can contact me at diaryofahopefulstarvingstudent@ gmail.com

Fireflies

Rate: 2 Flag

Fireflies gather and dash

Riding their own zip lines across the sky

Far below we turn

Stare at the trailing glimmers

Following as we move beneath

Lights of stars glowing as we are

Drenched in the night

Simmering on the sidewalk

I have not seen them in over a decade, I'd forgotten how pretty and magical they are. Thank you.
l'Heure,

I was fortunate to see a bunch of them tonight. All that bioluminescence is really beautiful.

If only you had posted this before the end of the school year. My students would have loved the imagery in this! So artfully written!
Paul,

Thank you. If only I had known there was a deadline. :)
