October Writing Prompt: Poetry on Candlelight

Before the month is over, I figured I should participate in Marcia’s October Writing Prompt at least once.

This month’s prompts are:

Candles or candlelight
The colors orange and black
The smell of cinnamon
A racing heart
A cry in the night

I decided to go with the first.

Flicker

Flicker, flicker, warm and bright

warm golden pools

throwing back the dark night

soft glow

flame atop a wick taking flight

flicker, flicker, warm and bright
