Campfire Constanza

Let’s start up a campfire tonight Gather up some kindling sticks Paper and a few logs, not too thick A blazing fire that glows real bright Start off small; first just get it hot When burning good, then add a lot White smoke rising, like from a pipe Swirls and twists goes with the wind Move to keep from breathing it in Popping embers sometime take flight if one lands on you, it’ll burn brush it off quick; that what you learn Fire dies out and you lose all sight Just like life, has a start and end Blazes bright at first, then turns dim Let’s start up a campfire tonight A blazing fire that glows real bright White smoke rising, like from a pipe Popping embers sometime take flight Fire dies out and you lose all sight

Charles, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie
