the imagery your words create.

A excellent entry for the contest. I liked it very much. I can see the fire as described. This flows very well. I interpret this as a memory. Good luck in the contest. Well done.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
Those campfires have burned many acres of land. They are great to have, as long as you put them out before leaving. Sometimes you can look into one of those fires and see some odd shapes. One night, my husband and his friend claimed they saw an old lady's face. Neither one of them believed in ghost. However, it was funny to hear them admit seeing something, whether it was real or not.

This is a good entry to the 20-syllable poem contest. The text has a clearly presented message. The font is large enough to be easily read. The visual fits perfectly. I offer only one suggestion; I would make the background black instead of brown. It will make the red lettering and the visual more dramatic. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from GWHARGIS
This was very intense with the fire, embers and smoke. It moved and I especially love the last line about the smoke curling. Left it moving on. This was quite evocative and beautiful.

Faith Williams,
This is an exceptional entry in the 20 syllable poem contest. The three lines paint a comprehensive picture of someone reminiscence of a profound campfire experience. The photo mirrors the imagery in the words perfectly.
All the best in the contest,
Eugene

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Great twenty syllable poem.
I would vote for it.
I love the picture, too.
Gazing into embers such as those is mystifying, the variety an 'dancing' of the glow. To reflect on 'the shadows of memories ' adds depth to the fabric.
Good luck in the contest.
