We are not so
Different
You and I
Releasing carbon
Oxygen consuming
Sparking when
Prodded or stirred
So come sit a spell
Tell
Me smokey secrets
While I feed you
Dry, tasty wood chips
And we'll share
Heat, light
Heart and
Toast to
Togetherness
A warming trend shared with Poetry Jam poetryjam.blogspot.com for Alan's wonderful prompt(romp?) to write about fire. I've always loved it--campfires, fireplaces--loads of happy toasty memories :-) Happy New Year everyone, hope that it is filled with bliss, health, and love.

ReplyDeletebeing not much different than the fire...tending to one another...you feeding it while it warms you, sharing stories...nice it plays to the relationship...
ReplyDeleteHi Brian! I enjoy turning giving inanimate objects voices, and finding commonalities :-). Thank you
DeleteI like the title you used! I love sitting around a warm fire too!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn! Always so good to see you. Thank you for coming by earlier to wish me a happy new year! All the best to you and your family :-)
DeleteThis is wonderful, Sara. I like the idea of becoming friends with a fire; and so true that we aren't really so different after all. I think I would like to sit around the fire and share. Happy New Year to you, Sara.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! I would love to sit by a fire with you, thank you so much :-)
DeleteI like the way you invite us to "Tell (you) smokey secrets", Sara! Fires seem to be wonderful settings for secrets and conversations.
ReplyDeleteHi Gabriella! Fires are magical, aren't they? Thank you :-)
Deletenicely done. Very clever
ReplyDeleteWarming fires are very inviting... it's those unwanted ones that I fear!
