POEM:

Firefly

BY JACQUELINE WOODSON

It's almost May

and yesterday

I saw a firefly.

You don't see

them a lot

in the city.

Sometimes

in the park

in the near dark

one comes out

you'll hear

a little kid shout

Lightning bug! Firefly!

It's almost May

and yesterday

I caught a firefly in my hand.

First firefly I

seen in a 

long, long time.

Make a wish,

Miss Edna said.

Make a good one.

Firefly wishes always come true.

Answer 1

Hi Gahij,

This is an intriguing poem and there's probably a lot to say but you need to read it a few times (including reading it aloud) and write down what comes to your mind. Connect what you notice with what you've done in class, particularly the concepts and literary terms you have covered. Then outline what you have written down.

Best,
