John Watt Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Silence Is a Fire

                                                 silence
                                                is a fire

                            able to accommodate
                             romantic evenings ~
                         or burn down the home

Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. John Watt October 11, 2020 at 2:41 PM Jenn, your supportive words mean a lot to me as I was just telling a friend I feel insecure in the short forms.

Andrea Dietrich October 8, 2020 at 6:32 PM 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!! John Watt October 8, 2020 at 8:48 PM 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!

Brandy Nicole October 7, 2020 at 7:49 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 Brandy Nicole October 7, 2020 at 8:57 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 October 7, 2020 at 8:48 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 October 7, 2020 at 7:32 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! John Watt October 7, 2020 at 7:47 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.
