Thread Name: When does it get dark where you are?
Subject: RE: When does it get dark where you are?
I'm all for the bonfires, LTS. Let's torch a printout of this thread to get it started.

But first I'll share a poem I wrote about fire and such things:


SHADOW

Once I hid from you in darkness
I thought that was my only refuge.
But now I know. I know. I know!
Yes, I have your secret.

Damn you, you lackluster mime!
You will haunt me less now!

You hunger for want of light.
Moonlight, sunlight -
They bring you strength.
But fire; fire is different isn't it?
Flame makes you quiver in fear.

Ha! I will watch you tremble!
I will torment you with torches!
Your strength flickers.
Now I can keep you forever
In the world between light and dark!
There you have no power!
Here I do not fear you
As I sit by the fire
In the depths of my cave.
