A wooded scene at night with fireflies scattering and dotting brightly in the middle. — Photo by Akin Cakiner on Unsplash

Town lights twinkle below

Fireflies dance above the grass

Fragrances so sweet and erotic

Cool breezes brush against my skin

The weight of an arm on my shoulder

Expectations hang in the moment.

Will there be a memory on the 16th Hole?

Thank-you for spending your very valuable time reading my poem.
It means a great deal to me and I deeply appreciate it.

Paulette, such a dreamy moonlit scene—your imagery of fireflies, cool breezes, and sweet fragrances beautifully captures a night filled with memories.
