Spinning sugar makes no sound
Billowing blue atop a white cone
The scent of fruit and summertime
Puffs of sticky sweetness on my fingers
As raspberry dissolves on my tongue

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
