Haiku Heights Prompt # 260 Firefly

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

    1. 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.

    2. 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..."

    1. 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.
