A breath of frozen wind,
Blew time and time again,
The house rattles,
Looked on the farm,
There is no cattle,
The world is frozen solid,
By a breath of frozen wind,
Snowflakes all around,
It is so silent,
There is no sound,
Time is all abound,
As The bright sun glistens,
Against the frozen ice,
The frozen conditions are here to stay,
It is too cold,
For the kids to come outside and play,
Inside their homes is where they will stay,
Let's hope the frost melts,
The frozen river,
Looking at this,
Would make me shiver,
In time,
We keep our thoughts,
That this frozen world,
Will soon thaw.

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.
