Every word here is well chosen, measured, and constructed. Kind of like a good fire. ;)

I appreciate the relationships and the different actions of each member relayed in this poem. The bones and ash in the last lines evoke pathos in me for those relationships—as I overlay my own complex stories over

these words. Thank you.

poem received. loved it. those last few lines were pernfect. until then it was a poem creating a pleasing picture of fall, bringing back memories of such...and those last few lines brought such life. Of course, I'm sure you knew that, planned it that way but i got it. what good is a fire at night without the story telling it brings. Thanks.
