I really liked this poem. It was short so i feel as if it may be up for a small amount of open interpretation. It definitely leaves as impact. Thank you for sharing with us.

Mike, great poem, a dark one, but I thought this form should have internal rhyme too? Check out the rules again and see if I'm right. I'm going to check too to be doubly sure. Good luck!

Some and come, are the internal rhymes that I have chosen. Maybe a bit unconventional, but end rhyme I have only heard referenced for the last words. I hope that I am right as I don't want to chop it up. Thank you very much for the compliments and this review. Mike

Hello Mike! I find these essence poems very interesting and yours is delightfully mysterious. I like the word "dire" and it gives your poem a hint of terror. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. I love that quality of being overly inviting but ambigious, in a way I was thinking about the essense of the night.
Comment from Arkine
Interesting poem. It can mean a few things I suppose. Dark campfire stories could be one. Or those that are scared of the dark and seek the symbolic shelter of the fire's light. A gesture of friendship when one is feeling that they are lost. A safe beacon for those wandering in the dark.
Great job! :)

Yea, that's what I love about it. You don't know if your safer by the fire or not. I enjoyed adding that element of uncertainity in there. Thank you very much for the compliments and the review. Have a great week ahead too. Mike
