A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the glowing embers that is the only signs left of the previous roaring fire that was used to get the heat perfect for a purpose.

I like this and the very descriptive and well placed wording you've used in this. This is good work and great use of alliteration. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done and you should do well in the contest with this.

Beautifully written! I could almost hear the crackling fire fade. It also reminds me of fading love. Radiant roar to whispering embers....great job!

An excellent verse with a beautiful, enhancing photo. I have found several ways to interpret your verse and think that it must be intentional. Very clever of you, Yvette!!

I love the imagery in your 5-7-5 poem the whispering of the embers after the roaring fire has ended. Good word choice and good use of alliteration of "radiant roar"
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from June Sargent
Sometimes the warm embers are more comforting in the long run than the roaring fire. It allows us to savor the essence of what caused the spark to begin with. Enjoy the warmth and relax. Then go get more wood!

Comment from Emmeline
I felt bad for myself because I count syllables as I read the line for the first time. I read it again and heard the fire's radiant roar. A 5-7-5 poem should be written straight and should be read with discernment not only if the author had followed the structure but also if he had a story.
