[hometext] => There is nothing like the cossiness of a roaring fire on a cold winter night.
[bodytext] => This evening I am wearing the fire Like a great overcoat, snug within snugness. The room is alive with shadows and flames within shadows That walk the cieling and the oak floor Where I sit in sagging comfort of the armchair. The whisky I drink is a hellfire and brimstone preacher, But how I love his fiery sermon, the liquid gold of words Flowing over tongune, coating throat And my belly murmurs a soft satisfaction. Through a crack in the curtains the porch light cast a picture Of lawn and trees framed by gently falling snow. And at the sky's edge a half moon is tempting stars With a suductive glance. And still the logs burn, the flames dance, A fine ballet performed on the great hearth, The fluting tune of wind in the chimney breast Caps a perfect performance. I watch the shadows on the wall, private within flame, Mesmerised by the performance, silent. Through the gap in the curtain I catch another glance, The snow is falling still, the stars edging toward oblivion And I put another log on the fire, the flames roar, I wrap myself closer in the great coat of the burning logs.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
