Firefly
February 14, 2013
Firefly shining in light. Firefly in flight.
It can't stumble and fall, for it hardly walks at all.
Children love to catch, as the sun goes down, as it lands neatly on the ground.
Jars of glass, lid of metal.
When handling be, oh so, gentle.
At the end of the fun, let it go, into the warm summers nigh.
You look back, before going inside as flying flashes of light go by.
Who says fire can't fly?

This is a sweet poem! I like it! I do notice that the rhyme scheme is good, but some of the lines are a bit longer than others so the ends don't meet the way they should. There were maybe one or two spelling errors but it's not too bad. I love the last sentence though. It's really nice. Overall, you did a good job. Nice work!
