Firefly Fascination by Dan Batson

Firefly Fascination
by
Dan Batson

A kitten locked
In a gaze.
She holds up
One tiny white
Paw
As if to hold
Still
The light.

PAW:
Very visual. Fun and lighthearted. Love the ending. Every time I read it I want to hold by breath at the end. I can feel it and see it. Thanks for sharing it.
