The author's words are engaging, thought provoking, clear and creative.
I pondered on the deep meaning of these words. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is perfect and compliments both the theme
and words of this poem.

How lovely and comforting. There is nothing like hearth and home to make us feel good inside...just like the feelings your poem evokes. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest. :)

A thought provoking 5/7/5 poem. The structure is spot on. The first two lines are grammatically connected and the 3rd line, the satori line is definitely an ah ha moment.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

Oooo I like this one. It has a supernatural romantic feel to it

The red fire burns warm
In my home at evening time
I know you are there

This really is very lovely and I wish I had a six to give you but I'm out.
Good luck in the contest with this awesome entry! Please accept a virtual six.

This 5-7-5, The Center, has the proper formatting and seems to point to the burning memories of one who is no longer on this side of the fire.

-Nice presentation.
-The syllable count is good,
along with the topic.
-Effective imagery as the
"fire burns warm."
-The mood is peaceful.
-The concluding line could
have a number of meanings
depending on who "you" is referring to.
That is a good techniqueğ???
-Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your comments. I don;t know if the last line is a good technique, but it was an intentional one. I appreciate your thoughts.

    You are very welcome. I was trying to think of the right way to say it; maybe open ended would have been better.
