I really love this. It makes me feel peaceful, warm and cozy; the winter cold and snow gifting us with time to sit and ponder life. So beautiful. I sincerely wish you the very best in the contest!

    Thank you so much of the lovely review.

    You got my point ..

    .. I don't like snow .. It's great to see from inside but then you have to deal with it during the day ...

    The only thing that I treasure in Winter are the evenings making the fire , watching the flames in the dark flicker while laying on my couch with a pet or two and pondering life.

    It's an overwhelming feature of my evenings in Winter..I couldn't do without it.

    I wish you a bright sunny day !

Hello there, this is a lovely Winter entry. You presented a comforting image in my mind watching the fire on a gloomy winter day. Hmmm. ya know it's Spring here, but I feel it's still cold and gloomy so much rain. I still put my fireplace on every day. I do love a real wood fire though, I would prefer it. But, it keeps me toasty warm:)) Good luck! ~Kerry

This work has reached the exceptional level

CIAO poet: I like your poem here because it is brief, clear, and to the point.
It says to me: "Okay...life can sometimes be gloomy and cold. But I don't let that get me down. I ponder favorable expectations in my life...that always helps me, Light My Fire, with hope and faith...and I feel free from all harm." Clever girl. God bless you. Ciao, poet. Cordially: rhonnie69.

    I was wondering if you ever made a fire ?

    It's work but there is so much payback , so much joy tin watching the flames dance and glow in the dark

    ..the sound the fire makes ..it kinda roars....when you put in a new log .

    And as I'm watching this overwhelming vision on the couch my mind starts pondering .....

    ... the flames remind me of the mythical Phoenix that burns and rises from its ashes , as someone new.

    Thank you always for the generous vote and for sharing your thoughts .

    Ciao Rhonnie!

I like this chilly scenario that you have penned. It offers a good response to those frigid days when the only thing that will comfort is a gaze into the fire. Well done and good luck in the contest.

    I don't like the cold and even less the snow.

    What gets me through the long winter season are those evenings spent making the fire .....there is nothing more peaceful then laying down every night on the couch and watching the fire flicker while I ponder life.

    Time out to just stop rushing behind chores and duties and think about my inner self.

I have done the very same thing as we are mesmerised when sitting next to an open fire in winter time. These few words made me think of a cosy cabin in winter, love Dolly x

    That's about the only thing I love about Winter is my fireplace .

    It 's work cleaning out the ash and piling the wood but then I do love watching the flames in the dark , the sound it makes when you put a new log in ..
    .....And then huddling up on the couch with my pets and thinking about all sorts of things ..

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts !
