Interesting twist from "his eyes" to "her soul." I read a poem once that included the advice "don't fall until you see the white of their lies." Your poem reminded me of this with the fire causing a charred landscape. Very visual.

Thank you for the encouraging feedback.

Transcends short-form poetry! These few words describe so well the remains of a marriage or love affair. It easily won my vote in the cotest.

The words of your 5-7-5 FIRE poem is top notch. Very well done indeed.
I personally wanted to thank you for selecting my drawing to accompany it.
They do fit so very well together. All the best at the voting booth. I am sure you will be in the top 3.

I liked the way in which the charred remains of landscape is the face in woodcut design, and the internal assonance of died/ behind not quite rhyme.

This is a fine entry for the contest
Because creativity is encourage I think this may be accepted
by the committee even though it's not specifically about fire
The initial fire of passion gone, the relationship is dead,
left in ruins like the remains of fire
Excellent art work to match
Well done
Good luck in the contest
