Summer Fireflies

1 On summer nights

2 as the sky grows black

3 and the stars peek out,

4 I’m unafraid of the dark.

5 I wait for the fireflies to appear

6 and light a path through the yard

7 from my swing to my porch.

8 Like glittering night-lights,

9 they brighten the lawn:

10 sparkles above the grass,

11 twinkles in the bushes,

12 on off on off on off on.

13 I sit on the swing

14 and catch one in my hands,

15 letting its wings tickle my fingers.

16 When I glance inside,

17 my fingers are glowing

18 from its tiny light.

19 I want to keep it—

20 but I want it to be safe.

21 So I let it go free

22 to join its friends and

23 guide other children

24 through the dark summer

25 night.

Which of these lines from the poem rhyme?

Lines 1and 2

Lines 6 and 7

Lines 10 and 12

None of the lines rhyme
