Like Burnt-Out Logs

Like burnt-out logs on ice-cold firedogs nudge, emotions crumble at tentative touch.

Interesting, Suzette. I'm guessing here but by rhyme you mean spelling and or phonetically, correct? Because my southern dialect doesn't pronounce crouch (ouch) like touch (much)

I welcome it. I'm rushing as my electric supply will go off in a few min for 4 hours due to the rolling blackouts in my country. Sorry.

Lets just go with "Eye Rhyme", if it is alright with you? Well spotted, Daniel. I'm thinking "clutch" & "touch". What do you think?
