Last Revision For This: Douse This Thing
Cool
White
Dawn
We were looking at charred remains,
embers not as bright since a chill dawn --
still
white
smoldering --
nothing compared to the colors sparking a black night.
A fuel-soaked concoction, once enflamed,
glowed romance, softened eyes,
brushed hues on two pale faces.
Rose-boned skin inspired
by wood
used
up.
We lingered too long.
Now this thing
is ash.
I ran a grammar checker over this today and it wanted to change 'enflamed' to inflamed. However, the only distinction between the two is that 'inflamed' is more commonly used in the US, while each is defined the same. So, no errors.
I still struggle to see how this poem lacks in competitive value.
