Day 10 Creative Bloomings Campfire

Around the Campfire

Around the campfire, we breathe in smoky air.

The flames dance up and down, as if they have no care.

We toast marshmallows and hotdogs on long and pointed sticks,
watching orange and yellow tongues get in their fiery licks.
Then we load our flimsy plates with goodies brought to share.

We watch with fascination, from each folding chair,
twigs, paper, plastic cups meet their end right there.

It’s how we sometimes get our kicks,
around the campfire.

And when red embers glow, we dare
tell scary stories or sing with flair.
With words and melodies we transfix,
when gasps and laughter oddly mix,
till we have no more time to spare,
around the campfire.
