Tanka

Fireflies are actually beetles and there are 2,000

different kinds, each with its unique pattern of

seduction.

 

  

 

Their season of love

The pines lit up like Christmas

Is almost over

The last gifts given and one

By one the lights going out

This is quite nice, Fog. My sense of rhythm, or melody, or whatever, being what it is, I wanted an "are" in the last line. I suppose that that would violate the form.
