This is an example of a poem I wrote a few years ago. Originally a cinquain
The candle pulses and sizzles,
like the burning depths of Hell.
The crimson wax trickles down te candle,
like blood out of a wound.
Its glow is enough to see ahead,
but too faint to know
what creeps behind.
The fire ceases,
the scent of cooling wicker.
Darkness encircles you.
