Fireplace murmurs low,
embers whisper old stories
Envious...moon sighs!

This is so beautiful and vivid.
I loved it. There is peace is watching glowing embers and listening to crackling logs.
What a quaint fireplace this is, so different, small heat indeed, great haiku.
This entire haiku has the feeling of familiarity and comfort. Especially the line: “embers whisper old stories.” Beautifully written, Antoni!
Perfect and comforting.
Love this. Such a cozy little poem :)
So beautifully written. Loved your Haiku!
Sure wish those embers would whisper to me right now... Your 'word paint' is glorious!
nice one-I feel warm
Gorgeous work AD! Go gurl! 💪🏾💕🫶🏾
