Heh, I enjoyed this piece! Fireflies seem to pop up in many songs and poems as a comparisons to kinds of situations about being trapped; Amai Wana by Hikaru Utada, for example. Random thought of the comment: (although there's always more than one random thoughts...) hotaru is the Japanese word for firefly! And "Amai Wana" is translated to "Love Trap". Nice flow in this piece! I really enjoyed it! Fireflies don't show up around where I live, so I'm afraid I've never seen a real one, but I've always found the topic interesting. I dislike bugs of all kinds when they're close to me, so I couldn't picture myself trapping fireflies...-.-
This is a fun poem, Mary. The symbolism between humanity and captured fireflies is an interesting concept. It is also interesting symbolism around the man in the moon concept. Tied it up well together.

I love fireflies, and when I read a poem about them I just had to write one as well. I find it hard to write about something plainly tho. (That's the reason I don't do haiku very well, lol) So, I looked up at the sky and pictured humanity as fireflies, and the night sky as that lid of a jar that keeps us enslaved. The stars are the holes in the night that let light shine thru. And the man of edam (syn: Cheese... get it? Man on the moon since they used to think it was cheese?) was captured first that's why that big leader of light is on this side of the lid. Anyway... I have been feeling a bit penned in lately and it's reflected in "The jars of life ignore our plea, truth be told, we're never free!" Hope this has illuminated the poem a bit. *grin*
