One
Single
Candle flame
Glows in darkness
To mark the first night
Come the second night, two
Twin flames dancing together
Shine even brighter as a pair
Each night the candles grow one by one
Eight lights remind us of miracles
Remind us of times long ago
Remind us of renewal
Remind us to have faith
One candle, one flame

What a wonderful poem of celebration. One candle, one flame ..become more. Lovely poem of renewal.
As I read your poem I found myself especially noticing when the meter of "Hanukkah" was picked up by the lines, e.g., as in "candle flame", "one by one", "as a pair", "miracle", and "long ago" -- it was a nice little bonus.
Perfect poem for the Season .......
very nice! and I like the ascending syllables, reverse nonet - this was very well written! I enjoyed
