By The Fire
Life is like a sharp stick,
Meant for great things,
Like marshmallows,
And pointing at stars,
And poking the fire just enough to make it dance.
You drop a few dreams into the flames here and there,
Burn the edges every now and then,
But oh—
How sweet the middle stays.
I love how the burnt is implying that you make mistakes and mess ups, or other people make them around you, but the centre of you is still pure and normal and a beautiful person. Also that the burns are just stages of your life and you will get through them, and come out remaining a good person, or better. 💚💜📚
This is so awesome! I love my marshmallows burnt! Not to much but still just enough to add a crunch. This relates to life very well and your use of some of the phrases like “You drop a few dreams into the flames” just really brings it together! Keep up the good work!
honestly, all the feedback others have was nice, but i personally think the style you chose for this poem was perfection. somehow, with the little words you used, you managed to create a really moving poem that inspired me about life. the punctuation and vagueness of it was just the perfect amount- masterful!
The play with imagery is perfect. Somehow you tied together all that life is in three lines. So good!
I actually love the shortness of the poem. I think it’s perfect, and u didn’t need to add anymore. It’s absolutely a perfect execution of the prompt, and u did and AMAZING JOB WRITING IT OMGG. I love this sm, and u should be super proud. 👏😘👌
