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
