You
This is a short poem I wrote about my ex.
You have a smile that leaves me breathless similar to the first time I caught a glimpse of a sunset, because even though it signifies the end I still thought it was beautiful and when it finally fades it leaves me feeling empty just like the endless monochrome blue sky.
You are my favorite poetry, the happy poems that make me swell with joy, and the sad poems that make me shaky and leave me longing for words.
You are a ball of Christmas lights, the ones that I leave up in my bedroom all year round, the ones that I'll want to keep long after they go out because they once glowed so bright.
You are a candle, a flicker of light. I know I shouldn't get too close because I'll burn but that all too familiar sent wafts into my nose and way too quickly, you feel like home.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
