Interesting metaphor. But doesn't wax eventually return, as we all do, to dust? We are one.

is supposed to be

a poem?

Jesus, I thought poetry and prose were different.

How silly of me.

I fail to see the problem with fusing prose and poetry as I have attempted to do here, Scotsman69.

I consider this to be long form poetry as I had very set scansion in mind while writing/reading this to myself.

Inclined to shirk conformity to any rigid construction of form, I wrote this free form. I consider "Candle in Review" to be a cross-breed prose-poem, and I tagged this post responsibly as such. It's not as if this has never been done. If you'd like to critique my writing for something other than its departure from tradition stanza structuring, I welcome you to do so. Otherwise, kindly comment elsewhere, Scotsman69. I see no reason to step on the toes of experimenters.

lots of exquisite metaphor. The careful juxtaposition of a continuum of thoughts, feelings and words may be a little rich for some, but it certainly aided my digestion. Well done. A certain Scotsman' might be well advised to go and read a book about poetry form before making further ill-informed comment. S.O..
