Flickering Flame

Posted on 14. Jan, 2010 by Olivia Bell in Uncategorized Poetry

Something new from me… I have been slightly uninspired as of late, but here is something at last!

I haven’t had the chance to really read it through, often when I’m uninspired I can’t read it back otherwise I lose any desire to write anything else… too critical, that’s me!

But anyway, I’ll stop rambling… here is my latest piece. Please do leave a comment if you have any thoughts, that’s one of my favourite bits! Hearing what others think. :)

Dawn is breaking,
the sun is creeping,
shadows are fleeing,
slithering into eerie corners,
the sky’s darkness overcoming
by the wholeness of the sun,
and the flames flicker;


a single stab at life,
a burst of hope,
the chance of more,
the flames flicker in my heart
as dawn arrives
leaving me with an ounce
of flickering hope.

    LOL @ Jack’s Comment. =P I guess it is nice to see you break free from one of those teenage moods and try to tackle another theme. And I have to say, a lovely one indeed. I love the idea of mixing dawn and hope together. While it might be considered to be cliched, I believe you’ve managed to convey the feelings of what hope can be. You’ve improved :)
