16 of 30: Candles

Bright flames
Twinkle
Glow

In the air they
Dance
Flicker

Colors trickle
Melt
Drip

Silence transforms
Singing
Laughter

Make a wish!
It's your
day!

  1. What fun! Love the short lines - one word. Makes me wonder who is celebrating a birthday . . . Happy birthday!

  2. With candles and a poem like this, a birthday would be something fun to look forward to, and not something to dread!! Love the verbs in your poem. Everything is so tight and concise.

  3. I like that you used all those verbs, too, Cathy. I am assuming that this is about a child. Hope you let us know! I like that "Silence transforms/Singing/Laughter".
