Be not afraid to love.
They may not love you back.
No problem at all.
It won’t bother you,
unless self-love you lack.
May get roses red.
May get nothing at all.
The best part of love
is not what you get.
It’s the minute, when in it, you fall.

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.
