This one-nine-one, To the Marrow, has the correct format and gives an excellent metaphor for living one's life with gusto and on the razor's edge.

Words beautifully penned and a reminder two candles shed more light than just one. This reminds me of the candle lighting service that takes place in my home church on Christmas eve. Where candles are lit from each other usually while Silent Night is sung until the whole sanctuary is filled with flickering flames. Best wishes to you with the entry.

Aww ... we do exactly the same thing at my church. Yes, it's so lovely, I never miss it. Beautifully said, two candles indeed shed more light, and three and more as we've both seen. :))
Great to see you back. Thanks a million. mike

How true that would be, a thrill for two lit candles blowing in the wind. It is a challenge to stay alive, let alone, not die out. I can see the flames dancing in the wind and wonder, are the holding hands. :) Great poem nice job for 1/9/1 Life poem. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

Nice presentation. I liked the cursive - and never though that some people cannot, so your are very perceptive to repeat your words in the comments.
Your message is cool - two flames - that is of great joy to live life that way.

I feel quite sure that this is not about two flatulent old flames reuniting after many years have passed by. I expect that they enjoyed the mutual warmth and waxed lyrical because of it.

This is a 1-9-1 Writing Contest Entree rich in Theme and imagery
It flowed well and read well with no grammar issues as well.
Adjective Content was aligned well with Objective Content and Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
Good luck with this.

To the Marrow is a very good creation for the 1-9-1 Life writing challenge. You were able to stay within the parameters and still create the magic. This takes the obscure and provides a good twist. Thanks for sharing.

This is pure awesomeness. The image that you have created with that photo and 11 syllables is sheer genius. If I could have devised this poem, I probably would have the last word "living" not "lived". I would probably be wrong. I am always caught up in accuracy. The flames and all efforts to "catch the wind" are living. Another part of me thinks that "lived" is correct and makes all the difference. The passing of time is clear and assumed. I would really like to know why you opted for the past tense. It would help me in my own endeavors. Good luck in the competition. I think you have a winner.

To be honest, the last line MUST be one syllable. So, that is the true reason. I agree, "living" is the better choice. Such a thoughtful and insightful review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed and took the time. Win or lose, I'm smiling. Thanks a million. :))

I got so wrapped up in my thoughts that I forgot the requirement. Thanks for explaining. I doubt myself too much.

Don't doubt yourself. You write wonderfully thoughtful and in depth reviews. A breath of fresh air. :))

Thank you for the sweet reply.
