That's what Sara, always says. :-) They are good, right now I'm eating some of her homemade fudge and cookies. Christmas baking time, and I'm loving it! Bill

Beautiful haiku, this flows so seamlessly. And i love the line “ above the flames the sparks danced“ so creatively descriptive. Readers can see what you’ve painted in such a vivid manner with just few syllables. Impeccable. Pleasure reading your haiku. I really enjoyed this one. It reminded me of saras haiku. Sending you both light always

Maybe she will rub off on my Haiku creating. I hope so. Thanks for the comments and visits, Ink, always a pleasure. Your poet friend in Texas, Bill

That's outright beautiful. Marshmallows make it complete. I always liked to burn my marshmallows for that charcoal undertones. Thanks to you for this poem.
