Haiku Heights Prompt # 260 Firefly

                                                     The innocent  firefly
                                  searching a candle light
                                       unaware of doom!!

    Your haiku reminded me of a kishore kumar song "Pyaar diwana hota hai..."

      Wow how romantic! I love this song. You know which song I was reminded of when writing this.... Mehfil me jal uthi shama parwane ke liye.Pyar bana hai is duniya men mar jane ke liye. Do you like old songs? I love them.

      Oh yes Ushaji I love old songs, in this song there is a line "Shama kahe parwaane se, pare chala jaa, meri tarah jal jayega, yahaan nahi aa; woh nahi sunta, usko jal jaana hota hai..."

    I find this goes farther than just about fireflies. It can apply to people in general too. Thanks for sharing. :)

      Welcome Sania. You are right. This is true for every one. If we are reckless, we too will face thesame consequences like the firefly

      Welcome Foam. The pity is that knowingly the fireflies go near the flame. Humans also know what is right and what is wrong. Still they commit blunders.
