d’Verse Poets – Quadrille #64 – Quick!Write something!
Dee is tending bar today and looking for some quickness from us
—
A Tiny Ember
it didn’t happen quickly –
Rather
a slow magical process
a bit by bit transformation
no spark that burst to flame –
Rather
a tiny ember that glowed within
warmed my soul
my heart
fed my muse
until I turned from poet
into poem
rhymeswithbug 
Oh, YES. Be the poem, Candy. That’s it, exactly. Love this! De

From “poet into poem” … a much to be desired happenstance! Well said.

a nice reverse use of quick to emphasis how a process can develop with real intention, loved the reversal here

I love this Candy, watching your poem ignite by ‘a slow magical process’. Tiny embers last longer than bursting flames. 🙂
