hey! Bagavathy here! i found this poem interesting so enjoy!! :]

Fireflies in the Garden
by Robert Frost

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Bagavathy,

To me this reads almost like a riddle. I've also noted a peculiar rhyme scheme: aaabbb. If you think about it, even though fireflies last longer than stars, stars eventually die out too. It is crazy to think that some of the stars that we see have actually been dead for years already. It takes a while for light to travel all that distance!

Cheers,
Mr. G
