Your "5-7-5" Poem, Fire Inside, is wonderful. You have perfect syllable form of 5-7-5. You have a good rhyming scheme and a smooth and easy cadence too!

What I get from this is how we sometimes wear our emotions on the outside and everyone can see or sense our distress. I think this is excellent and so true. Well done

Well, to be your first one it was very well thought out and expressed with emotion. It has perfect syllable form and is a good solid entry, so I wish you the best of luck with this.

I really like your graphic, and the words match it well. Good movement in the words, your poem tells a story, and you have a very fine unexpected ending. You should have a good chance in the the competition. Ray.

Sounds good to me, Vincent. I have not tried many of these and when I did, like you, I found them harder than I expected.
I think your little poem manages to incorporate several images in few words.
The first line suggests a back story about the writer, the second gives an insight into the character of "you", and the last line suggests that "you" is pretty hot in every respect!
Nicely done, and I wish you good luck in the contest.
Keep at it.
Best wishes

This poem has great content. Unfortunately, it is not a 5-7-5. As written, it is a 5-7-6.
This can be rectified by removing You're on the last line; it might even strengthen the message:
you light a lost spark
you pour embers from your heart. . .
fire in the dark
Please let me know when you fix and I'll up your rating to 5 stars.
