Notes About The Poem

For Nette Onclaud's Variation Of Dramatic Or Light Verse Poetry Contest

____________________________________________________________________

I See Fire

I see you and you see me
from across the room;
sweet is the heat under your
unwavering gaze.

A small smile tugs at your lips
as your eyes light up;
I see fire that well foretells
sunshine exploding.

Heartiest congratulations on your top placement in this contest with a lovely metaphorical short poem on fire from the eyes. Reminiscent of days of youth. Wishing you a shining day.

This poem glows with quiet intensity. The gaze across the room is electric, and “sunshine exploding” is a gorgeous image—passion wrapped in warmth. It’s romantic without being overdone, and the fire metaphor burns just right. Lovely work.

Yep, attraction is flammable. Always carry an emotion extinguisher. Garlic sometimes works. But not in Italy.
