Premium Member Memories of Autumn Nights
On Autumn nights, under the watchful eyes of stars, we shared fun and laughter beneath their glow, Listened to Crickets serenading the moon, Hours upon hours spent reminiscing about days gone by, With eyes closed, we saw reality leaving, and dreams began to weave themselves as we laid beneath the dazzling sky. Autumn nights, long, damp...

Some things in life you cannot fix, so we burn blemished bridges. Throw leftovers into bonfires, watching silent embers blaze in grandiose gold and orange flames. Wait, as toxic smoke smoulders clear....

shaking Clydesdales stood eager the sleek sleigh was hitched blankets and hot cider stowed prancing and dancing slicing through white woods faces frosted by the snow cozy cuddling and huddling holding hands in warmth dreaming of bonfires NB: Charlieku forms created by Charles Messina *Inspired by, but not entered in, Charles Messina's Triple New Charlieku Poetry Contest...

Beholding changes in life’s seasons Along spiritual transformation through faith Encountered by believers of the Saviour and Lord… The bonfire has heard triumphant grateful testimonies On how we did fall in love with...

There is something about a bonfire that soon surpasses Summer's splendid joys; those warm, yet soothing sunny days, with crimson sunsets, balmy moonlit nights- which in their time, will all come to an end. Then we'll be watching blazing logs of wood aglow with fire and brilliant dancing flames beneath the polished, iridescent moon- uplifting, warming, comforting Fall's chill- while one by one, we...

Byron's Bonfires
BYRON’S BONFIRES Byron’s life was full of fire Some from passion’s strong desires Some from temper, child spoiled-- Too much paper--desk embroiled But he suffered sacred fire Shelley’s wretched funeral pyre On strange shores his friend succumbed Drowned so far away from home Fighting valiant-- Greeks allied Keeping paper by his side Used a fire to keep warm-- Daunting rain that did him harm After death friends burned...

Bonfires With Boys
Sparks take to sky, My heart could fly, Family found, When I come around, It feels like home; Grab a beer and let’s roll, We’ll take the back roads no toll, The boonies, Could swoon me, It feels like being alive, Beside my blood I ride, These boys soon men, I must instill wisdom in them, To know I care, When parents don’t, They know I won’t, Ever leave, Like turning leaves, All...
