I like baking cookies because I find they are comforting in times of worry or dismay. I am a lover of bacon but sometimes I dislike how long the salty scent of bacon lingers and clings to every particle around. Maybe that's just me.

Wow, this is brilliant. Such a fascinating premise. Kind of reminds me of the transformation of literature (both the good and bad consequences of that transformation) when we started valuing conciseness in our prose.

The semi-circle of these trees makes for an interesting shape. And as broody as that sky is... that lavender-gray is actually what I consider to be my favorite color!

I agree with The Lone Cat! The imagery is sunny and lovely, and this poem just tinkles!

You speak of a flame, a blaze, embers, but even if your words weren't so directly tied to fire, I would still feel the warmth of this poem. It reads as a great awakening, but it is also wonderfully ambiguous: You could be discovering a great creative passion, here, or falling in love, or finding a true sense of identity or purpose for the first time. Or all of the above!

I love pineapple on pizza! Especially with pickled jalapeños. But I could just be an uncouth west coaster :)

This is just a random factoid... I don't really write lyrics, so I'm not a great person to awnser this question... but in the classical world, the words for poem and song were often the same, and most poetry was sung or at least chanted! So the connection between the two goes back a long way... though  think it's a lot more difficult to put free verse to music.
