Fireplace Gathering

Children huddled into the fire
Seeking heat
Gathered till smoking on the back
Turn around and smoke the front
Embers pop
Sparks chase, screaming children

screaming adults are more fun but children but are getting much harder to scare these days and some of them are mean as well. this is a very good reflective write. i enjoy fires myself underneath a full moon the the werewolfs howling filling the night. maybe a chaisaw im just saying well its almost time for me to clean the castle so thank you for your commnet and great poem as well. Be careful zombies are on the loose.
