Fire

by Spirit   Jun 30, 2007


A flash
burning, & breathing
different from streaks in sky
this is strange
it does not disappear easily

bright
warm and peaceful
it does not light up whole land
blackens earth
it is warmer the closer i get

gone
strange and wonderful
it has ceased to flicker in the night
yet now
i still feel it when he is near

F
I
R
E

yes i remember now
a great fire when i look at him
i feel strange, small
i want to hide inside myself

fire
it is not gone
even though it burned out
i can still feel it inside myself
but then
not all fire is created through sticks

all it takes is a spark

    Interesting to say the least.

    I like this piece it gave me the feeling of a relationship starting from just a single spark of probably lust or some relationship which involved a guy which you believed to stand out of the crowd maybe a first love lost cause the embers are always there and all it woul d take to reignite the flames would be a spark..

    i'm not sure if this is the purpose but thats all i got i'm afraid.. Though the poems itself was well written :)

    I liked this piece simply for the accomplishment of imagery. While i think you could still revise some words for better effect, I could see and almost feel the fire you spoke of in this poem.

    This poem was pretty good. Yeah, it was a bit rough, because there was no real rhythm. But, at least you say what is on your mind when it comes to poetry. I love the whole title of "Fire" and then at the end you kind of use that title more.. which was very neat and creative. :) I think you did a nice job here, but if I were you.. I'd just stick with the rhyming. Your rhyming poems are not terrible at all. Maybe that's your thing. At least I think it is. I'm nto saying non-rhyming poems are bad or anything, they aren't. I love writing them. It comes to me easier and I let out sooo much that I'm feeling. We all have our strengths in poetry, and I think yo'ud do amazing with the continuing of rhyming poetry... That's just a opinion. I don't really care for this non-rhyming poetry of yours.. becaues it doesn't have that flow that rhyming poetry does. Up to you completely, I'm just giving you my thoughts. :) All in all, a great poem with a wonderful title that you used almost perfectly throughout the entire poem. Great work. Keep improving. 5/5.
