Marshmallow Blizzard
Poem - 017
Poem - 017, Marshmallow Blizzard
We stood in the blizzard together,
Our half lanterns beaten by the weather.
Your ember was just a flicker,
My ember felt even littler…
But standing by you,
I could feel the warmth it once gave.
We’ll hideout here in a cave…
As I connect my half to yours,
The lanterns unite as one and the flame-
It grows and not in vain.
Fear tells me that glass will soon shatter.
But seeing you tells me that doesnt matter.
Your goofy smile…
A distraction from the long, cold, while.
The small white pillow you placed on a stick,
Burning the sugar over the flame like a wick.
Trying it, I couldn't help but think about it…
Just how well we seem to stick.
- Kaliyah Myers, a Poem to a soon to be book named, The Mad Project

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Love!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful poem! And now I want a s’more, preferably away from a storm haha
Cute and sweet rhymes, you've got such a knack for creating imagery with your words. Just change "in vein" to "in vain" for spelling purposes. But I love the ooey gooey nature of this read!
good story
I love it and I love the way the marshmallows are described as "small white pillows" too - fab!
I loved this - resonated deeply and really evoked so many sensations of what ‘love’ can feel like. X
Very romantic and the rhyme is really catchy.
Really lovely. Was it by any chance inspired in part by the animated movie "Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return?" The marshmallow love scene (and accompanying song!) helped me through some hard times, over a girl from Wisconsin in fact so I guess she knew all about blizzards! This poem really brought back to me that year in my life, and long ago as it was (2014) it was like living it again. Thank you for that experience! I'm sure others reading your poem will likewise remember something happy - or maybe I should say, something sweet!
I see why you got a top story from this. It's fantastic work.
Reminds me of romantic walks in Central Park during the winter.
This is so dreamy! I love it!
Love and addiction - One and the same.Great poem.
