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.
For this poem, I like to show students the poem, but not the title, and let them come up with a title and possibly draw a picture describing what they think the poem is about.
