And I'll tell you why.<br /><br />I lived in Japan for two years as a kid, so the poem and background evoke strong emotions and memories in me--of melancholic nostalgia, just as you said, and longing to go back and visit again. The cherry blossoms are lovely, you got them spot-on.<br /><br />Now I live in Mississippi, where anyone can tell you we have fireflies by the storm every summer. When I was little my whole family would get a jar and go into our backyard and see how many we could catch. In fact sometimes I still try to catch a few.<br /><br />Apparently my post was too long so I'm splitting it up!<br /><br /><3 Love KimmiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381288573324945155.post-23892802795745520862010-08-12T07:02:28.209+10:002010-08-12T07:02:28.209+10:00She is a beautiful creature, this lady of the mars...She is a beautiful creature, this lady of the marshes, as frail and as magical as the tiny lights in the night. <br />I haven't seen many fireflies this years, but I remember many summers ago the countryside in Italy at night was splendid: they were all over the place, so lovely...Asterahttp://astera-t.deviantart.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381288573324945155.post-80245794217031143542010-08-11T19:43:17.342+10:002010-08-11T19:43:17.342+10:00Oh Monika!!
