Kindling

[cidermaid]

Hi Mark, sorry but i did not take much from this one in terms of content.  (Beyond the idea that the writer / voice is lacking in creative thoughts and has written about this?)
Liked the idea of the title (if my interpretation follows)

Kindling

Swayed
by moonlight's subtle power,  I was really hooked in by these first two lines...and then the rest of the poem din't deliver for me.
we ask a favor   thought overall the line breaks were over subscribed and as such felt forced.  I wanted to read this and next line together.
of this hour-  
(curled up
like a question
mark)    These three line breaks worked okay, esp if the poem always has the name Mark prominantly displayed. (Liked this as a poem turn and a pun - assuming it was intended).
will you grant us
one more
spark?  ...but these three line breaks don't work for me and it feels very forced in both meaning and rhyme

A short n sweet ditti, but not much substance to make me want to re-read.  The first line suggested a meatier read and then seemed to be mismatched with the rest of the poem, which was leaning towards the comic.
