Sparkly glasscotton wick
Stately globe reflecting sunlight
waiting in the kitchen window
poised for use
prepared for night.
Sunshine boasting brilliant radiance
mocking the unlit maid
Little he knows the comfortable warmth
of a dancing flame on parade.
She's not the only lamp, you see,
to spill her light at Evening's Ball
When she arrives the gentlemen harken
three or more in all.
Modestly blushing she curtsies lowthen raises her eyes to see
The moon nod his head,
and darkness cower
she watches every shadow flee.
Her dance card fills with willing partners
the lovely lamp for a while is queen.
Then music fades
and guests depart
her luster dims in morning's gleam.
Sparkly glass
cotton wick
stately globe reflecting sunlight
waiting in the kitchen window
poised for use
prepared for night.

- I couldn't help it... inspration struck!)
Can you help me come up with a better title?
I'm not too fond of this one.
C'mon Ashley and Emily,
I'm depending on you here! :-)

Hmmm, I will try and think of one. Though Emmy might beat me to it. :-)
Your gift was lovelier than ours--loved the poem; loved the title; love the poet...
MOM!!! This is a momentous occasion - your first comment to ever grace my blog!
Thank you Mom:-)
I do feel loved, and thoroughly enjoyed the special gift tucked in full of care... just for me (and AJ too, of course!)
Having your comment on my post was like a shadow taking form - thank you again!!!
Love you too,
me
Your poem is so lovely...
No WAY!!!! I was waiting to read who the author was thinking, "ooo, she must have some nice, old book!"
That was so good, Analene, and the pics were perfect. You continue to amaze me:)
Awe... Thanks Suzanne!
You made me blush:-)
I agree with Suzanne. Those were my thoughts too!
VERY NICE work Analene.
Flames of Night-Light
Dancing Flames
Dancing Flames of Night
At Night Fall or As Night Falls
Those are my ideas of titles. You don't have to like any of them...but since no one had suggested any yet, I'd thought I'd take a stab at it...lol!
Love ya.
Lovely. How about "Waltzing With Twilight" or something like like that? I love firelight too!
