This 5-7-5 creates a wonderful word picture. The candle picture is great to accompany your words. I love the patterns in the wax that the melting has caused. That would create awesome shadows. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings. Carol

Melissa,
You can be my muse inspiration anytime.
Unique candle for your meaning? Or "my candles cast ..."?
Nicely done contest entry! Good use of artwork to complement your poem. Of course, I like your mini c- and w-letter alliterations. Drop the cap in first word?
Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year!

Comment from Sally Law
Oh, I have a thing for candles. I received 5 for Christmas so far. I get lost in the burning wick and scent. A hypnotic short verse 5-7-5 for the site contest.
Sending you my best today as always, dear Melissa, and my best wishes in the upcoming contest.
Happy New Year too!

Your poem makes me want to see if flickering candles could inspire me to write more. You make it easy for us to visualize this scene of flickering wild shadows on windless evening. Rod

Hello Rod... remember Dean K? He told me once to write at night to the light of a candle and that the inspiration would be phenomenal... I have tried it and have gotten really good results. Now, you must remember he wrote a lot of spooky stuff ~ mine isn't. Anyway, thanks so much for your review.

Hello Kim... thanks so much for the review. My muse can seem to flicker and wane, just like a candle, so when she's whispering, I had better pay attention. LOL. Thank you.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
So, even on windless nights the muse whispers cast wild shadows letting us know you are about to write something magnificent. I love the idea of wild shadows against the wall of a candle with no wind at all to send it to the moon and above.

Hello Jesse. Well, that's me trying to infuse a bit of mystery again... and since all I am writing seems to be the shorter poems, well, I make it hard on myself. Hopefully, after the first of the year, longer poems will be born. Thanks so much, my friend.

Keep trying. Your muse will develop a great poem in a short form if you want it hard enough.

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Sugarray,
This is a great 5-7-5 poem. I like how your whispering muse is in the house with the shadows. I can't keep track of my muse she likes to disappear on me.
The picture you chose compliments the poem nicely.
Good luck in the contest.
Cecilia
