Storm

A Poem by HungryGhost

I am the lambent flame of a candle
flickering in front of a window pane
on a stormy day.

Very nice use of words. A burning candle waiting for the day to change. Could be a storm or worst? I will return later to read more. Grandchildren had showed-up. Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.

You are welcome.
That's quite a statement. A candle can represent love which in this case would be its strength when those storms of life pound the psyche with doubts and fears.

Very well done, Ghost.

It is important to be a flame ever present to the world... where
hope is universal and wants to be reflected across oceans of versatility
to become tethered in a divine reunion of faith hope and charity. truly, Pat

the beauty of short poems are that it leaves the reader wanting more or wondering. Asks a lot of questions. This poem reminds me of a small and fragile tin shed, with an occupant and candle. In the middle of a stormy pier or forest. Love it, great work! x

Hahaha totally! :)
You obviously like to write very short pieces.
I'd like to read a longer piece from you as I think it could be very interesting.
Another short yet visually excellent write.

I do haha. I should try that, you know. Thank you! :)
lovely, I like to write these short poems, it is such a satisfying thing to do, this one has a kind of mystery for me, it poses questions, who's in the room, where is this room, feels like a lonely house on a misty moor, a lot of things can come from the short poems that's the beauty of them, yours is exceptional :)

It sure is!
what a warm, radiant, inviting, comforting image... It says a lot, yet says little... It leaves it open for the reader to take it where they want to, which is beautiful and brilliant at the same time. you have a lot of skill for 15... I am impressed.. I really enjoyed this glimpse into your writing and cannot wait to read more.. the tone and imagery you created was so lovely... awesome job...
