Your imagery is always phenomenal John, you are truly gifted and your short forms of poetry are always so creative a PPP (picture perfect poem) about a fire. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Jenn, your supportive words mean a lot to me as I was just telling a friend I feel insecure in the short forms. But I am learning so much from reading the creations of my many gifted friends here at Soup. I am always grateful for your kind and thoughtful words my friend. Hugs ~ John

very different for you, John. And I see you put most of the words on the bottom part. Creatively styled! Totally different from mine. I LOVE the popcorn in the picture!!

Yes, quite different. As I've mentioned, I feel insecure with these shorter writes. Thanks for the encouraging words, my friend. Maybe the picture will help me in the contest, haha!

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

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!

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!

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.
