April is National Poetry Month, and for our first post of April, we offer a poem by Writers Forum member Larry Solberg.

The Ember Fled

         Larry Solberg

The flame

Touches a string,

Which glows,

Then flares.

A breeze blows.

Embers fly

From off the wick.

An ember glowing

On the wind –

Flies into the dark.
