candle light

onepauly

the whole lighted candle

i believe i can handle

steadily readily

it wanes and drips

closer surer

now warming my lips

careful am i not letting it spill

till i get it to sit

on the windowsill

with no ill will

just another run of the mill

      For sure it is a cute one. And I like the simplicity too. Simplicity unclutter our mind. Gives us light spirited feelings. Very enjoyable. 😊 Thank you

      A simple poem you say? NOT
      I do like the line "now warming my lips". Were you trying to eat it? Or was this for rhyming purposes only?
      How about "it wanes and stands...now warming my hands"
      No offence, just kidding around here Paul. You should be proud of this one, it IS good!

          Nothing 'run of the mill' about this poem. Good write.
