Andrew, I particularly like the image of the candle and the mood it paints in my mind. You brought to life feelings we have, that we are unable to express. As usual your rhythm and rhyme are simply perfect. Karin Anderson

A poem burning so bright Andrew. This is wonderful to read and has that poignant air about it. A delight to find. Have been off line as my computer had to go to the PC Doctor as I could not get onto the internet at all due to a corrupt file in the Internet Explorer which affected BT Broadband too. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Andrew, as I read this, I could feel the sadness comming over you as you tried your very best to write.. The Candle says so much with so little on paper.. The flicker intensify your yearning to have the happiness you once had, and it drips on the candlestick as your heart drips of pain... Very tender and pened with much sadness and tears... But remember there is always another flicker to light up another day... Bonnie
