I love the start with all those 'After Dark' antics. We think the night is so quiet, but David shows it isn't at all! I miss fireflies here in Colorado, but grew up with their "blinker on, blinker off", always seems like miracles.

It's been so much fun reading all these blog posts about AFTER DARK.

I agree that the poem, Insect Texting, is a favorite. I think that was very clever of David to create a poem with a modern context. I do love this book so thank you for adding your personal take on it.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-15173916894588371872020-02-28T08:35:02.540-05:002020-02-28T08:35:02.540-05:00Lovely to read this firefly poem, Linda and David....Lovely to read this firefly poem, Linda and David. I was married before I saw my first firefly - and still delight on the rare occasions I see them! (Which has been a couple of years, now.)

Your list of expressive verbs would make a great list for my students to use in writing. The Blinker off, Blinker on of the firefly poem is great imagery. Thanks for sharing the website.

It reminds me of summer nights growing up in Missouri and catching as many as I could, running through the backyards with neighborhood kids to see who could capture the most! Of course, we learned quickly to let them go when the night ended...to be ready for another night!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135534502815300580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-24002366473973032312020-02-27T07:41:45.373-05:002020-02-27T07:41:45.373-05:00Linda, thank you so much for hosting me today on t...Linda, thank you so much for hosting me today on the 11th stop along the AFTER DARK tour.
