I sit by the fire
watching the flames
twist and leap 
as if they are walking
on hot coals.
I embrace the warmth
emanating from it,
which makes me forget
that the weather,
outside,
is cold and wet.

Short, simple, sweet. And I like the sly joke line about flames and hot coals.

Such a cosy scene you paint with words in this inviting poem Luigi.

A fireplace with a roaring fire is like a stage on which a dramatic play is being performed, Jenny. So glad you liked my interpretation of the I.P.

Beautifully symetrical and so, so true.  I sat in front of our fire and read this.   Loved it.

It's raining only late in the season it has been some years now, and then it comes down in buckets.I think it's climate change, lots of rainbows that's nice. Near Pretoria then.

Yes, Tom, climate change has a lot to do with the erratic heater conditions that have affected us of late.

It rains in winter sometimes every year now too, sleet even even a bit of snow. Unheard of.

A fire sounds like a good idea. It's funny hey just the other day you all were compainlng and carrying on aboutr the heat.

Nice poem, excellent, keep well!
