Jenna Logan Poet Sonnet

Flickering Firelight

Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker 
My eyes transfixed on the glowing golden flame 
The pungent scent of night jasmine grew thicker 
Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker 
Our romantic whispers became words of bicker
Nothing between us would ever be the same
Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker 
My eyes transfixed on the glowing golden flame 

The pungent scent of night jasmine grew thicker
Entranced, I stared at the fire's rhythmic flicker
Our romantic whispers became words of bicker
Nothing between us would ever be the same
My eyes transfixed on the glowing golden flame
Envisioning the love we could never reclaim

Jan Allison June 11, 2021 at 5:18 AM beautiful in its sadness jenna, good luck in the contest with this little gem:-) hugs Jan xx Jenna Logan June 11, 2021 at 5:56 AM Thanks, Jan. I don't know why it turned into a sad poem. Sometimes words just seem to take off in their own direction. But then I DID write silly limericks about socks and crocs yesterday. ha ha
