  1. beautiful, silent, green, they light up the sky like nothing else in our world can today. Calm, still I am as I relax and watch them swirl and jump in the air. Priceless

  2. fireflies are small buzzing creatures with two wings and multiple eyes. They fly around often at night because they glow in the dark. They’re very beautiful, though I’ve never actually seen one in person. One movie this word reminds me of is “Grave of the Fireflies”, in which, long story short, a little girl dies in the end among fireflies and stuff. Meow. I really like fireflies, and I think the idea of glowing in the dark is bizarre.

  3. you would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep. the light the night sky and are aught in the fantasies of small children. running barefoot in a field somewhere. night sky ablaze with stars. girls in white dresses. jumping in the air with jars in their hands, trying to capture the lightness of that moment.

  4. I remember trying to catch them, in jars or with my hands, but being worried. Worried I might hurt them or cause them to lose their glow. But I think they like it.

  10. Night time. Summer love. Catching fireflies in jars and watching them twinkle with hope in my eyes. Childhood, don’t we try to hang on as hard as we can? Fireflies must fade…face reality and grow up, they say. But I want to stay, I want to stay a kid.

  11. I wish i could see them right now. They’d give me hope. They’d make me realize that there are beautiful things in life. That one thing can light up any room. I would like to be a firefly. I would like to have the ability to just fly whenever something goes wrong. Life can be beautiful, fireflies are beautiful. I don’t find fireflies in California.

  12. The faint flutter of lights takes me back to my childhood, and the muggy summer nights still linger in my mind, searching for fireflies. Nothing could ever be so magical.

    I look back on the days when I held them captive in my hand with a twinge of regret. Because I hoped beyond all hope that the magic would somehow rub off onto me.

    I have grown and now realize that like most beautiful fleeting things in nature, it is better to be a passive observer than to assert dominance over something so delicate. The mere act of bearing witness can fill the heart with the greatest wonder.

  15. fireflies are bright. starshine light, stars bright, I wish I may I wish I might, something rhyming I see tonight. Starlight, star bright, fireflies burn and flicker like a ticky ticker

  16. fireflies are pretty little stars on earth….perhaps that is why in the princess and the frog they made ray the firefly fall in love with the northern star and then become a star himself once he died. fireflies are fun to catch, as long as you let them go when you’re done.

  17. they are so bright flickering like tiny stars caught up in the blanket of night. how to see what is before us but that which flies within the spaces of our minds. beams and streaks of light beside the conscious thoughts of our time. these are the signs of the times. fireflies in our minds.

  18. fireflies flew so high in the skies.fireflies burned the night. it burst into flames and lived as stars in the sky. made it pretty no lies. Fireflies fireflies flew in the sky. accompanying the moon.

  19. in the night when I walk alone under the streetlights I can sometimes see them chasing each other from shadow to shadow under the trees at the edges of things. I don’t wander about them or susbscribe to them any sort of romantic quality because nothing romantic has ever happened to me in the presence of fireflies. I think of jars and I think of poor things trapped and I’m glad that there are no jars in the vicinity or else they would be as trapped as the rest of us, I give them their peace and they give me mine.

  20. bright. there cousins of butterflies. Ha! Women like a man with a big back porch!! gotta love that movie. I wonder what fireflies think about.

  21. Fireflies hover over the distant field, distracting from the issue at hand, yet promising that there is more to life than the eternal quest to get something done.

  22. i like fireflies. they remind me of that band, owl city. they also remind me of russell because we always argue about whether or not we like that song. he says no, i say yes. most everything reminds me of russell these days. its alright though, because its mutual. has it been sixty seconds yet? i hope so…. close

  23. Ambient motes of light illuminating the waxing darkness. Reminders of ages past.

  24. I love to play with fireflies at night. They make me think of summer days, lemonade, best friends and never ending fun. Childhood. Playfulness. Lights. Moon. Happy. Nothing ever ends. Those summer nights just seemed to go on and on. I never thought I could have so much fun attempting to catch bugs & keep them as pets. Amazing. Wonderment. Life.

  25. Fireflies fly like lights in the night, swat them with baseball bats, like fastballs so fast they zoom by your brain, and exchange these words as a poem that means nothing, nothing but words on a page, so I digress…

  26. Fireflies dance in the dusk of the day. The weeping willow watches as they tussle through the leaves. The game is on the night is young. The firefly has just begun.

  27. you would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as i fell asleep

  28. There was this boy, in a city of angels who faught only the fireflies of hell, and when the angels came to the boy they brought news of a city under ashes. He cried, knowing that this is the kind of stuff fireflies do for fun on tuesday nights. I miss my jennifer . . . im horrible. Hey mom, hows grandma . . . hows dad? Is he dead.

  29. i’ve never seen fireflies in person. :[

  30. I used to catch fireflies when I was a little girl. Lady bugs as well, but now all bugs tend to freak me out, and I wouldn’t be caught dead catching fireflies anymore. It’s sad really, a part of my childhood forever gone because bugs creep me the fuck out. Oh well, what can you do about it? I guess I’ll wait til I have my own kids, and then I’ll have to play tough when they bring me their gift of fireflies.

    Rebecca
  31. Amazing song by Owl City. Everyne seems to be talking about it. My sister loves this song. So does the little sister of my best friend. but what are fireflies, really? they’re cute little glowing bugs. woohoo. not really much to get excited about. but young lovers seem to love them. i wouldnt know, because i never get to see my lover. gah. i miss him. it’s sad.

  32. pinpricks of light that pierce the black construction paper of the sky fascinate me . . . it’s the only time, I think, that you can hold light . . . but if you hold it too long it will extinguish forever. So, I open the jar, and release them to join their shiny cousins in the darkness.

  33. My friend’s wife was dying. She shared her love of fireflies on one magical night with me and my husband. It was beautiful, in a meadow not far from her cottage on the river. We walked down the trail and saw the meadow come to life.

  34. darling as i sat with you on the grass that night and saw your face light up when fireflies came out i knew. and you were dancing twirling in the flickering light and green glow of lightning bugs

  35. the love of summer

    childhood books

    a glimmer of magic found like a sparkle in children’s eyes…like fireflies.

  36. Fireflies are like stars. They blink on and off, on and off. Kind of like dreams. Dreams come and go. But fireflies die, and so do dreams. Dreams die before you can make them come true. Fireflies fly away, just like dreams. If only fireflies could stay with us forever, like dreams. Then they wouldn’t die, and they would keep on shining brightly. They should stay and never drift away. Fireflies remind me of the dreams I never had. The dreams that I wanted so badly to happen and they just faded away.

  38. As soon as she stepped off the porch she realized the fireflies had not come out that evening. She walked across the lawn towards his back door, but the lack of tiny lights to guide the way made her uneasy. The humidity clung to her dress

  39. They are small, flash in the night and make good light when a bunch of them are in a jar. They are really fun to chase and laugh at, if you’re a kid. I hope you all have fun with fireflies. They are so cool and bright.

    Kenny
  40. fireflies in a jar, lighting their green lantern light; my husband grabbed at a fire fly as a child and it was the end of a lit cigerette; fireflie juice on a black shirt; neon in the black light; fireflies in the night; oh what a delight.
