Best Campfire Poems

CAMPFIRE 

I thirst to taste your solid wood stare
I see you and no one else 
Nestling under the stars
Hungry for each others ears

Chasing every comet across the sky
Fierce when it comes to standing tall
Desires releas screams from the mundane night
Running naked throughout the world
Firewood burning the depth...

If ever there’s a campfire, rekindled as the sun goes down,
where ghosts of articulated writers, return and gather ‘round;
raise their glasses to a toast to commemorate their rhyme,
I wish that I could be there if they gathered just one time.

The awe would be amazing, as...

Campfire And Tall Tails

     Friends and sons come walking into the campsite all dress in camo 
 from their long day’s hunt. Around the crackling campfire, they all gather 
and sat to warm their much-needed cold wet bodies. Keeping warm
with a...

Rising from the fire like a phoenix;
hot cinders morph into crimson darts.
And shadows mark the fringes of light,
extinguishing all unwary sparks.

Scarlet splashes in the molten flames
as cerise and chartreuse ride the waves.
And all eyes follow their rhythmic flow;
for their hypnotic beauty enslaves.

Bursts of laughter and...

Old Campfire Memories Still Endure



Come sit with me around the crackling fire
every night camp needs its burning glow
Of Nature's forest exploring I never tire
often with my faithful dog Midnight in tow

Fair weather is the prayer always prayed
when granted comforts this old brain
Fire soothes when bad...

The campfire crackled
As old friends tackled
The problems of the day

The problems weren’t solved
But everyone involved
Felt they had melted away...

Flames sprout
from beneath
old logs
sending smoke
rising in darkness
Everyone gets seated 
around the circle
 laughing and sharing stories
More wood 
bigger fire
burnt marshmallows
drippy chocolate
no one watching the time
everyone is having fun
around a good old campfire...

beneath serene and reflective night skies
gentle feelings silence each tear, each fear,
breathing in smoldering dreams who arise
rustles of stillness, spark a soft prayer.

glowing faintly beneath the moonlit night,
flames enchanting, silencing the sad sighs,
warm odors tempt the eager appetite
along the camp’s edge, before the fire dies.

A crackling sound as something splits off and falls further in.
A popping
A glimmer of yellow
We sit mesmerized, staring not at the fire, but at our friends
who have turned into darkened shadows

The trees have gone gray, and the day is cooler now.
our host has brought plaid...

Morning Camp

hushed morning sun
dappling through the wood smoke
wake up! smell the toast!


Sundown Camp

embers glowing hot
s'mores branches whittled sharp
oops! marshmallow flame!

My best friend had a man so sharp
he knew just how to roll a tarp.
Packed the cars and never blinked.
My sweetie caught my eye and winked!

Soon we all went down the road
to a forest where we could unload.
With trees so tall they kissed the sky
and...

camp chairs gathered around


bright flames dancing hypnotize


ash reminder left cold

With a kiss you said goodbye
And I know a kiss shouldn’t lie,
But yet, I see you by the fire
listening a boy playing his lyre.
 
The wind blows a bamboo’s flute,
You dance their song barefoot
Around a abandoned rustic bow,
Whirling an iron-tipped arrow,
 
I see why you...

A flint-stone when struck,

sparks in varied forms of light,

lit from the same source....

When I was a young lad
I was a boy scout
We went once a month
On a camping trip
With our father
Coming along.

Once we went 
On a camping trip
Along Stinson beach
In Marin County.

We had a campfire
On the beach
A real bonfire
Welcomed 
In the chilly night air

Fond memories
Of being a...
