Friday nights
Fireflies flicker bright
Finding pathways on our lawn
Filled with sparkling awe

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
Consider expanding this poem to deepen imagery and emotional resonance. Currently, the poem relies heavily on alliteration ("Friday nights," "Fireflies flicker," "Finding pathways," "Filled") which creates a pleasant rhythm but may limit the development of more nuanced imagery or emotional depth. It might be beneficial to introduce more sensory details beyond visual imagery—perhaps exploring sound, scent, or touch—to enrich the reader's experience. Additionally, clarifying or expanding upon the significance of "sparkling awe" could help ground the poem's emotional impact more concretely.

Nice...
I can see myself and sisters, on a Friday night [allowed to stay up late, [with no school on the weekend], You don't see many fireflies anymore, I suspect that all the weed and bug killers have something to do with that. Nicely done. ~ Geez.

Clentin,
I remember "chasing fireflies" as a child. Those were innocent times when there was nothing more pressing to do on a weekend evening than chase the lighted bums of flying beetles!

Jar Full of Fireflies
My first reaction was a memory of capturing fireflies and putting them in a glass jar. I'd sit and watch them flash their light for a while before releasing them, again. Thanks for bringing that back to me.
