The candle glows.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic

The candle is lit.

The light of a candle glows. The cool summer breeze blows. The stream down below flows. The world turns slow. Will our love still grow and flow? The raindrops fall from the clouds, and when lightning strikes, it's so loud. But I look around, and you are nowhere to be found. So I sit and wait and don't make a sound. Without you, there would be no more songs to sung. But I still love you, and I'm not having any fun. So don't run and hide I am always by your side. Till the stars fall from the sky.

I absolutely loved reading your poem, "The Candle Glows." The imagery of the candle's light, the summer breeze, and the flowing stream really transported me to a serene and peaceful place. The emotions of longing and love were beautifully conveyed through your words.

To make your poem even stronger, I would suggest focusing on the structure and rhythm. Consider breaking up the lines to create a more balanced flow. Additionally, playing with different poetic devices such as rhyme or meter could add another layer of depth to your already heartfelt work.

Overall, your poem has great potential and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Keep writing and keep sharing your beautiful creations with the world! more »
