Sotto Poet Poet Quintain (English)

Notes About The Poem

Molten Candle

Tiny candle, smoldering on the table, crying out.
If you haven't homogenized, don't sit with your peers. 
Only a burning wick may damage the wax snout. 
Nero's light has raised such eager hopes of medieval years 
On a dazzling throne, cut heads using a pair of shears.

Delice Arleen Skelly August 6, 2021 at 3:22 AM I know it's only a myth and Nero did not play the fiddle while Rome burnt. However, it shows the absolute contempt he was held in...Delice Sotto Poet August 6, 2021 at 8:05 AM Thank you very much Delice, he might not play the fiddle but, but it's said that he killed so many people.

Victor Buhagiar August 4, 2021 at 11:33 PM that sent me some ugly memories about Nero. Wonder if he's burning in hell. But then we must never judge. Sotto Poet August 5, 2021 at 8:02 AM Indeed, nothing really good to remember about Nero, just the atrocities he committed, I wonder if he is burning in hell too, but that’s well deserved for him
