Friendly Fire

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.

  5. This 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.

  6. I like the way you invite us to "Tell (you) smokey secrets", Sara! Fires seem to be wonderful settings for secrets and conversations.

  7. Warming fires are very inviting... it's those unwanted ones that I fear!
