Thanks, Linda, a repost with a few changes. I deleted all my poems and started over. LOL So I'll edit some of the ones I really liked and repost them along with the new ones. I'm also going to post the 6 that were in the two Poetry Soup Anthologies my poems were in. I shouldn't have deleted those 6 for sure. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

If you want sparks, green is the name of the game when building a fire. Thanks for the visits, Kim. I'll start reading and commenting soon, my friend. Bill

Great Haiku, Tex, indeed green wood burns poorly, making ignition hard. Wood is moist, but life and motion persist. Fire feeds and comforts despite weak fuel and blazing rejection. This may reflect resilience, demonstrating the ability to retain warmth and a sense of connection despite difficulties.

Thanks for the visit and comment, Sotto. I'll get some deeper poems on here soon. I deleted all the old ones and I'm starting over. lol Tex isn't catching on, so it will be Bill from now on. Have a great day, my friend. Bill
