Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Around The Campfire

Rising from the fire like a phoenix,
hot cinders morph into crimson darts.
And shadows roam the fringes of light,
extinguishing any fledgling sparks.

Scarlet splashes amidst molten flames,
wherein, cerise and chartreuse cascades.
And all eyes follow the rhythmic flow:
as its hypnotic beauty pervades.

Bursts of laughter and bravado bond
in the scary tales that haunt the night.
And camaraderie can be felt
amongst everyone huddled up tight.

Tranquility's intoxicating:
pacifying your nerves with its peace.
And it feels like genuine magic,
when worries and anxieties cease.

The brotherhood around the campfire,
is ignited by flickering flames.
And fragile friendships are reforged,
free from frustration and power games.

Timothy Hicks February 16, 2016 at 1:04 AM I think is your most poetic one that I've read yet! So many great lines that teem together and truly encapsulate the feeling of being around a bonfire with well known (as well as old) friends! Your second-to-last stanza was my favorite ... genuine magic is a dynamite phrase. A fave from me.
