This is a very sensual simmering 5-7-5 poem and I love it. A very worthy entry to the 5-7-5 Poetry Competition and I wish you luck :) Tina

This 5-7-5 poem titled "Fire Inside" has a perfect syllable count and the massage is appealing. Well done and good luck in the contest.

If the first one is a masterpiece, I wonder what follows; hello friend, brilliant reflections with superb word choice and eloquent phrasings; the picture adds to the theme, good luck.

You're right that 5/7/5 poems are often harder to write than are longer poems. But you did a fine job with this one. I enjoyed it.

This is awesome. I love the coloring and flames. I see this as a tribute to a friend or love or both that has reached out to light up a dark place in someone's life. What a good choice of words too. Embers sound so gentle. I like that. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Good luck. ~Yona

Very nice Vincent. I got a chuckle from your author notes that it didn't come as easily as you thought. These 5/7/5's can be very tricky but still a fair bit easier than haiku. I love the line you pour embers from your heart. There are few different interpretations to your poem so to me that is good poetry. Your use of literary devices is sound and not easy to accomplish in so few words.

Nice job!
