Silence Is a Fire

                                                 silence
                                                is a fire

                            able to accommodate
                             romantic evenings ~
                         or burn down the home

Brandy Nicole Date: 10/7/2020 7:49:00 PM Romantic moments shared indeed. Oh my !! Except when that fire burns the house down. Your thoughts bring a smile and create a beautiful mood, all at the same time. :) Your pen is on Fire !!! :) Brandy Login to Reply Brandy Nicole Date: 10/7/2020 8:57:00 PM So true. Silence is a Fire, depending on the moment. Thank you John. This photo was taken yesterday. I appreciate your compliment. :) Brandy John Watt Date: 10/7/2020 8:48:00 PM This one goes both way, I've known silence that brings a warm smile and silence that is a dagger to the heart. Grateful for your wonderful comment and I enjoy the new avatar!

Michelle Faulkner Date: 10/7/2020 7:32:00 PM I like the contrast of warmth and comfort, and the danger it also contains, that's why it's called playing with fire, I guess, hoping for a good placement in the contest for you! Login to Reply John Watt Date: 10/7/2020 7:47:00 PM With only 14 words I tried to choose a metaphor that's well known for going both ways. I'm glad you picked up on that. Thank you for all the wonderful comments tonight, Michelle.
