July Small Stones
independence by Teri H Hoover

`
Brightly the little firefly
shares the dusky sky with the demanding explosions of color.

Both the firefly and the pyrotechnic-
rising like a cinder from a bonfire;
mirthfully  claiming the sky as they rise- 
and suddenly-gently surrendering to the air that enfolds them.
They float into their flicker and disappear.

    I love your description of the exploding firework in the second poem. :) But I really, really, really love the first. You gave that little firefly personality. :)
