Earth's Temptress, Lady Fire

A scorching poem

Earth’s Temptress, Lady Fire

Gyrating in her haunting

And violent shapes

To some evil melodic beat

 

Raging and roaring

This hot tempered beast

 

Restless heart

Of searing flames

 

She’s come to savagely

Lick the damned

Scorch the oppressed

 

She’s constantly

Twisting and contorting

As she sizzles and pops

 

Her temperature rising,

Melting mighty steel

Into small liquid pools

And bursting thick beer bottles

Into tiny shards of glass

 

She’s a raving b***h to handle

A wicked siren

That’s out of control

 

She’ll kick leagues

Of men in the a*s

When trying to quench

Her undying thirst

 

She’s a blaze of fire

Earth’s precious temptress

Lady element of heat

Mistress of Fire

I wrote this for the fire contest
I love to watch fire.
Fire relaxes me and takes me to another world.

I found the way you described some of the processes quite interesting: melting steel, shattering glass, thirst, etc. I'm not really that clear on the purpose of your strong language, but nonetheless, good job!

Mesmerizing piece. Fire is the great equalizer!

This is such a powerful enchanted vision of fire.. her longing and life unleashed. So beautifully portrayed in every aspect of her movement and hunger. Amazing!

Fire is hard to control. When it loses control. Can do great damage. I like how you described the story in the poem.

Thank you for a excellent poem.

As I read I couldn't help but imagine this creature, this Lady Fire, being an embodiment and personification of the completely and utterly independent woman. A being that super cedes any sort of metaphorical or even physical chain. You know what they say, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'.

Wonderful stuff.
