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.

Good work and a good definition of this word.
5/7/25 I keep getting notifications that you have posted something, but then it goes away. OK over there?
Oof, that’s a sharp one! Plot twist: the prize decides neither is worthy and walks off solo.
This is short but sharp.
I am glad I don’t experience this emotion. I did once, though, and it’s quite destructive. You did a good job in this Haiku.
Jealousy....such a *** this poem describes it well.
This was sooooo relatable! I freaking loved it!
