Bonfires

Fred Cuming
Art by Fred Cuming


Inspirational sparks
Cultivating lovingly deeds
Soul insights;
Delighting, highlighting
Ignite
the minds.

Gossamer flames
Activate desires’ vibes
Omnipresent tongues;
Fascinated/devastated
Plummet
to transform.

    Wonderfully evocative words you have chosen for this poem. I love "soul insights" especially.

    O wow--deeds, soul insights, minds, desires--is there any thing beyond safety the tongues of flame fail to activate? This poem is an urge to take the plunge. Beautiful. It resonates with Sherry's second poem, but you have turned up the heat!

    Ah - inspirational sparks set the BEST bonfires, I think! Where would we poets be without them?

    this brings me back to the very first poetry group i joined in "Poets in Tent"

    inspirational spark is spot-on. sets the tone of the poem and the flame of your poetry didn't stop until thr last line.

    Plummets are important in learning to withstand the slings and arrows.

    Enjoyed. Memories of sailing along an evening shore watching the shadows of naked limbs gathered around flickering light..

    I love the idea of sparks igniting the mind - so a part of the creative process, in my case, of painting.
