This week, I’ve got a cute little poem that uses a firefly as a metaphor for love for you – I hope you enjoy it! There’s some similar poetry in Intricacies Inked In Ice if you’d like to check that out, and, of course, don’t forget to go and have a look at my latest novel, The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane, if you haven’t already! But anyway, onto the poem!
Firefly
Catch a firefly
and the warmth
flutters
between your hands.
Catch a firefly
and the feeling
melts
your heartstrings.
Catch a firefly
and in a single,
fleeting
moment, it is gone.
Catch a firefly,
but just know:
eventually
you must let it go.
