Fireflies and Roses

A Poem

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Fireflies in a jar

Full of roses

Lighting up the night

And filling up the room

With the scent of the petals

Like the rose,

you attract me

To your center

Where I could

Live out my life

Happy forever more

Basking in the warmth that is you

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Ohh 😯 I got a little tingle! Lovely job and cool photo M. Combs. 😁☺️

  • This was sooooo gorgeous! Loved your poem and cover photo!

  • I once semi-courted a young lass who along with her brother would catch fireflies so they could smash them on the pavement smearing their phosphorescence there. I prefer your take on it, Mother. No, we didn't last. We barely managed to get started. But the next woman I dated I married. We just celebrated our 38th.

  • What beautiful visuals
