POEM STARTER

Fire and Flames

Write a poem where fire is the central theme, whether this be physical or a metaphorical burning.

Burnt

A fume of flying flames

eyes filled with burning pain

House engulfed in a roaring ember

Ashen ruins are all that remain


The day was one that I will remember

One of saddness

Mourning

My tear soaked sweater


Smokey darkness engulfed my life

My lungs

_Cried_

_Cried_

_Cried_


Books and toys were not all that it contained

In the house a little boy still remained

His blackened body

Broken

Bruised

Burnt


Beaten and Crippled

Left to no use


He lay for a while

Calling and calling

_Help_

_Help_

_Help_

But there was no rescue


The boy would die

His soul would depart

My child dead

It tears me apart
