Burning Away Time

by Macabre   Jun 10, 2006


Hiss,
crackle,
snap,
and pop...
Join in this game,
throw in your lot..
Stick your fingers in,
and forget what you were told..
Playing with fire?
An adventure so bold!
So fun it is,
wave your fingers through the flames,
burn away your memories,
and forget all your pains.
Wave your finger through the candle,
its good fun you'll see..
stick your finger in the candle,
burnt skin doesn't hurt much,
and this game is so fun..
so why don't you join us?
come along and stick your fingers in..
Or are you to afraid you'll go to far?
Are you afraid you'll push the limit?
Michael did,
will you to?
Play with fire,
kill the time,
with a fuse.

Dedicated to a kid in my school who burnt himself alive... =(

    "its good fun you'll see.."
    should have an apostrophe in it's

    I think the poem started out great, with a great rhythm, but I feel like the rhythm faltered slightly near the end. I also think that the work 'finger' was repeated too often for my comfort, and may have been a proponent in the faltering of the rhythm. Really interesting poem though.
