| The keeper of the flame
Paid no attention to the fire Only a few cinders remained. A cold night coming Must feed the fire Watching to be sure There will be heat Come morning. Stoked the stove Eating chocolate Sipping brandy While combustion roars And the fire can be banked. Inattention has it's own penalties Or rewards Lilo Ducommun |

| Another good one Lilo Thank you |

| What a lovely image your poem evokes; I could skip the brandy--maybe Bailey's Irish Cream, instead?--but the chocolates and warm fire make me envious. Echoing Oscar, "Another good one Lilo Thank you" |

| Luv the poem. Especially the first line " The keeper of the flame". It sets the tone of the poem. |

| You are so good in awakening memories, I can even smell the fire and a pot of grog would stay hot on the "Kachelofen". Thanks |
