Candle Haiku

From the wick.

With smoke as my shame,

I am killing the candle

by feeding the flame.

o.O Very well written. As I read more poems, I'm getting more and more attracted to three-verse poems.

The double meaning (which I hope is really there and not my imagination) grabbed me. The universality of one thing feeding off another. Or that which feeds us may also consume.

Nice work Nicholas. Enjoyed this one.

I have never been one for haiku, they are so short I feel restricted, but I really enjoyed this one. To feel sympathy for the candle, I never would have thought of that. Nice work.

This is intriguing yet a joy to read. Excellent work. I hope all is well.

Oh, this is very interesting. Killing the candle by feeding the flame. Such an insightful view. And so appropriate to so many things in life. I am impressed. That doesn't happen that frequently, but this is marvelous.

I really enjoyed this. HIghest marks!

My very best regards,

Rick
