This is a poem of longing for what once was. The campfire is a metaphor for the fired of passion and love. Sometimes you wonder how the other half of the broken relationship really feels. Congrats on placing second in the contest.

Keep writing

Hi Sugarray, Oh I liked this fine ABC poem. It is so sad in its tone as she remembers how they used to share their own blaze an nights together. Now, it's all but finished.
Good luck in the contest. All the best. Ulla:)))

Sugarray77, this is a fine entry for the ABC poetry contest. It is a well written piece with rhyme that flows. The content of lost love has a lonely effect and the description allows the reader to feel as if warming by the fire reminiscing on what once was. Well done and best of luck in the compitition. ~DD

A very well-written ABC poem about a great time at the campfire where we can make memories that can last a life time. Your poem brings the reader right to the campfiire.

I felt the passion in your poem figuratively and literally. I felt the relationship of the flame burning and the one burning within. Great entry for the contest. Also the blanket, to me, represents the body of her lost love. Great job.

I like how you SET THE SCENE of a quiet night watching a campfire and remembering other such nights with the woman you love. I especially like the imagery of line three.

Beautifully written. It's interesting that you chose a campfire as a time to reminisce about a lost love. The blanket makes a nice touch to show the emptiness the narrator feels. The details about the snow-filled skies and the log fire create an appropriate atmosphere. Excellent use of rhyme in your ABC entry. Best of luck. judi
