Perhaps that fire's burning within...when someone special is there :-) Nice little 5-7-5. A warming theme I'll certainly enjoy in a few months! Right now it's just hot and muggy lol :-) well done.

Comment from Eunice Amero
Very sweet poem. You did a good job with it. You just have 6 syllables first line. You only need 5. Fix it and it will be good. Thank you for sharing it sometimes the syllable count is hard. But just fix the first line. Good luck

Very nice, Nancy!
Focusing on the fire as a warm and comforting spot does draw a lost loved one near, into our time when we sit alone and wish they were there to share it with us. I enjoyed the poem.
Smiles, Carol

I liked the poem. I have a harder time with these smaller format both as a writer and a reader. It often isn't enough space to capture the emotions that I want expressed. What they often do, which yours does is make me want more.

I suppose that that is part of what makes them interestng--wondering what happened
Comment from lyenochka
I like the cozy ambiance that you set up in the first two lines. Warmth and light create a welcoming homey feel. The final line could mean many things, affirmation that the first two lines means someone is home with the narrator. It could be loved one personally or in spirit, or even God Whose presence is felt there. Best wishes in the contest!

You have no idea how much I enjoy this. Because every winter I spend so much time standing in front of our fireplace, it's like my best friend for a few months. I live in Minnesota so the fireplace is amazing, my family always knows where to find me.

Love a fire place on a cold winter day. It becomes more special when I have some to share a nice cozy fire with.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables to describe a moving scene in which the speaker has comforting memories. I'm not sure I understand. If you are in your home, shouldn't "there" be "here"?

There is nothing more cosy than a lovely fire in the grate. It's hypnotising and so romantic when with the one you love. Or just to sit and fill your mind with lovely memories. I enjoyed reading your 5-7-5 poem. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from MissMerri
This is a sad and tender poem. The fire is needed to keep the speaker warm, but also, company, as the loved one is found in the warmth and felt to be near. These three lines say an awful lot, and I think it is an excellent entry into this contest. Good luck!!
