Wow, great poem. It has great flow and wonderful word choice. Keep up the great work:)

Absence is to love
As wind is to fire,
It extinguishes the small
And kindles the great.

^^^^^
This first stanza says it all. I love how you relate the two and draw it out in a picture for the reader to follow and envision.

I always hear how distance makes the heart grow fonder, but rarely with the same lines of absence smothers a hearts fire.

I think that putting the two together really set this poem off.
