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

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/18/2014 1:00:00 AM 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. Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/16/2014 4:30:00 PM 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 Login to Reply
