    Poem Commentary

    I've been perusing for new writers and readers. I discovered a little of that, but more than that. Some I expect will be a lasting delight, others will be a fanciful night. Still others just leave me with unanswered questions. This is my prayer for them tonight.

    The Vanished

    Quant sparked moments

                Are for all time

    Short moments of brilliance

                Flash onto dark times
     

    Scraggly twigs engulfed

                By the fire

    Only ashes left behind

                Carbon for eternity

    Fuel for the souls of life

                That flourish in the light

    Ever grateful that at crossroads

                 You remind us of the night.

    You have me quite intrigued with this. Some of us are the Fire? Some of us are the fuel? And some of us are just witnessess? Ha ha This make me think, and I'm not used to that : D

    'Short moments of brilliance flash onto dark times.' That is the way of creativity I've found. At our lowest points comes our brightest moments to allow our emotions freedom to manifest themselves into words. Very creative write. A ten from me.

    A flash will last a short time, but when a roaring fire is ignited and stoked, the soft glowing embers that remain will last indefinately...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
