The Night of Fire

Logs melt slowly in a stone pit Lights the night, in silence we sit by fireside Darkness afar illuminates, as if the night must compensate the firestorm A battle of flames now delight Claims the visual in the night with fireflies contest Fire,Earth,Wind The Night of Fire Frederic Parker 11/9/14

ooh, I love the fireflies at the end there. A romantic touch! I need to study up on this contest. Nette's contests inspire such beautiful writing.

Such a beautiful poem, Frederic. You brought the fire into reality with your remarkable descriptions. Love the way you end it too, comparing the "visual" to fireflies. I haven't seen this contest, but the quality of this poem stands on its own. (Jameis Winston is giving me heart attacks - slow starts, strong finishes.) Hope you are all set to enjoy a happy Thanksgiving! Love, Carolyn
