A Flame Once Burned by Ellie Daphne

hidden invisible irreversible choked flames crushed lyre quenched fire sparse daylight muted bog creeping smog dying memory closing wold emerging cold infinite reclusion elusive distance moribund resistance pervasive whist abandoned feeling predominant nothing

What a vocabulary! Lyre, bog, and wold are some of my favourite words but I hardly ever read them. I guess they are predominantly European and not used much here in the Americas. This is a great piece that leaves much room for imagination; mine can go hogwire with this kind of stuff. In a good way, that is.

Isaiah. Ty so much for your detailed comment WITH content.... I do not know whether words are more European or American......... I wrote a poem how I read a poem - well that explains hoe I try to write too. So glad you enjoyed this poem.. and felt the space to find your own......... You made my day too with THIS comment. TY so much. :+) Ellie Daphne

There is great depth within this poem of yours. Perhaps within the ashes there is a live ember waiting for the right chemistry to re-ignite anew.

Coming from a poet like yourself......... TY so much for taking time and making the comment WITH content! But your perhaps... if and when... well hardly......... I mean "predominant nothing"says it all........ Again: TY for your words with depth! :+) Ellie Daphne

There is much depth in brevity that sparks thought like a pensive painting!
