Fran, I love this acrostic about fireflies! How I used to love catching fireflies and putting them in a jar for a nightlight, then releasing the next day. I like your alliteration in your first two lines. I love these lines “Rekindle ancient
Enchantments: /Fairies freewriting with” and I love these lines “Inkglow illuminating individual/Evening essays containing/Secret spells, summoning summer”. I enjoyed your reference to enchantments, fairies, and secret spells. I have always been fascinated with butterflies and thought they seemed magical. Thank you for sharing your poem, inspiration, and joy!

Seeing the fireflies lifts my spirits, Gail – they really are so magical. They seems to beckon or signify some kind of promise. If only the cicadas would return… any day now!
