She did you a solid with this one, for sure, that muse of yours! A creative type like yourself, though, probably needs only the teeniest of nudges to find something unique and fabulous flowing from the tip of your pen. I love this glowing, exotic-looking picture! xoxo

Comment from June Sargent
You've captured a serene moment when a writer suddenly senses her muse awakening and stirring - and whispering in her ears. That spark of creativity comes out of the shadows and a poem is born.

I've used the metaphorical candle in a number of the poems I've written, so yes, in the darkness even a candle is like a lighthouse, this is a lovely poem, well done, blessings Roy

I like how much you accomplish through implying the metaphor of the candle and the wind that doesn't really blow but the wind of inspiration still moves the the candle and whispers to the narrator what to write. Best wishes in the contest!!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
The first thing thought with your title was a Jackie Wilson's song. Great tune. Do you recall it or are you too young? Love the picture and your knowledge of agronomy.

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!
Mark

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!
