through the night trees
fireflies swarm
like L E Ds
they sparkle all around

calling everybody
to gather on the lawn
it is party time
while summer is on

Ms. Winter's on a holiday
somewhere in the north
she said she can't make it
anyways its too hot

Lady Fall is busy
making fashion wear
when summer gets over
she'll start her sale

so Baby Summer said
the party is still on
so folks let's freak out
before we run out of time
..............................................

you have already provided a prompt ...I think we will go by it for this week...
.........................................

it was that fateful day
on twenty first of May
songs of summer in air
almost like a fun fare

as night swept over down town
the sky wore a grayish gown
no stars performing in the sky
new moon had said bye bye

in a far off home by the country side
all lights were beaming full of joy
moods were upswing on high tide
for all folks to party and enjoy

as fate would have it on that night
all of a sudden there wasn't a light
they reported their plight to 9 1 1
without hitting the panic button

the wait was long no candles at hand
shrouded in dark in destiny's hand
soon fireflies came blinking their lights
waking them from stupor and fright

these fluorescent cops wore solar hats
which charge by the day when asleep
they wake up on call of their 911 boss
on a mission to light up dark nights

it's a pleasure to have you on board with your vision as seen in your poem...

I told a firefly to stop flashing her bum
she asked if it did distract my attention?

I told her it did, but why does she ask
she told me to kindly place her in a flask

that night I asked her to tell me her story
here I go she said but it's not hunky-dory

"I was born to a mom, a fan of Madame Curie
but when I was born, she had left in a hurry
so mom took over her work that's inactive
that's why I was raised in a lab radioactive
I sneaked into her lab always by the night
not knowing then that it would be my plight
it wasn't my fault that my potty was in there
why it was flashing I wasn't at all aware
no sooner I sat it started twinkling my bum
ever since that time they're stuck like a gum
when mom came rushing to answer my call
she said I'm a radium girl she can't help at all
I wish I had a button to put of this flash light
but no matter what they get turned on by night"

while wishing her good night I asked what's her name
she said it's Irene, like daughter of the Curies of fame

i wish i could have such blinkers
mounted on the roof of my car
through heaviest of traffic jams
i would drive like a movie star

I would get the right of way
with folks watching in dismay
as I zoom across the crossing
without a ticket or booking

but I feel like a fool that's fooled
by the fly who sold me her blinkers
because when the fire ran out of them
they were useless without their chargers
