Please read Karin Gottshall's beautiful poem, Soap, posted on my blog today.
Then, write a poem in which candles in a window are one of the images. (Or a piece of prose or a piece of visual art. You know the drill.)
Are the candles there for Christmas? Hanukkah? Kwanzaa? Any other holidays that use candles in their celebrations (there are a lot)? War? A city-wide black-out? Romance? For heat in an old cabin? Due to the power being turned off? To read surreptitiously? To signal to someone outside? Just because?
That's for you to decide!
Have fun and write (draw, paint, sew, etc.) a great first draft!
