fireflies in a jar are by Angie
Every place I've been,
every person I've met,
has captured
a little fragment
of my heart.
Kerry's challenge at Real Toads today is to write a fragment of a poem, something that might fit in her firefly jar, on Skywriting, where she keeps lines that have especially moved her. I love the idea of a firefly jar!!!!
Very loving, very firefly!
ReplyDeleteSherry!! You've captured so well the essence of you...your heart. Thank you for living from there. <3
ReplyDeleteThat's because you light up the night. :)
ReplyDeletethis is sweet and aptly phrased. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYet somehow the heart is still full of firefly light. I love the pics, too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a heart is a jar of fireflies in its own right.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, that picture with your lovely lines .I'm sure the fragments you lost are being replaced by fragments you gained
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet and sweet.......:-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely enough for a poem on its own! This is a very good exercise I think for shortening. Thanks - this is very sweet. k.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, Sherry. The jar of light that each of us carries through life. I'm glad that you've shared so much.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sherry, so much wisdom in your firefly jar. I love it.

The firefly is an amazing phenomena. It lights up within its own power. I find that interestingly in your verses. Prolific postings and apologies for missing some recent ones!

Lovely verse.
ReplyDeleteThis is an enlightening as the fireflies themselves~ I would have to say, you have brightened and changed my world...
ReplyDeleteThank you! This was beautiful~
Sherry, I loved this short, effective poem. Reminds me of Janis, "Take another little piece of my heart, baby," except yours is given willingly and in love. Your path is so true, so wise. Love, Amy

Sherry! How lovely to see you. I hope you appear on more Thursdays. This exercise of Elizabeth's has the virtue of being short. Besides, it's fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the serendipity of your poem being fireflies before you saw her exercise.
The thought of each person as a firefly in our hearts is warming and beautiful.
Enchanted magic. Thank you.
