A Poem is a Firefly

A poem is a firefly
Upon the summer wind.
Instead of shining where she goes,
She lights up where she’s been!

One of my all-time favorites is your A Poem is a Little Path. You should do a collection of poem-metaphor poems!

Easy to memorize! This would be a good poem to share in an elementary school hallway.
