Fire

2 poems written for a format I gave my students.

 Fire 1

 

 

Fire crackles and roars,

A cacaphony of male lions.

It hungrily consumes

All that lies in its path.

Settling down for an after-lunch nap,

It snorts and whimpers,

Embers for another feast.

 

 

Fire 2

 

Fire dances in the breeze,

A doll in a music box.

She wavers to and fro

On her thin wick-pedestal,

Hearing music too quiet

For our ears.

At the end, a bow.

Then, poof!

She's gone.

I loved the two peoms!
I was actually able to see the fires exactly the way you described them :]
Awesome!

I enjoyed them both. Very different pictures of fire and well described in so few words - Thanks :)
