FIRE III



Fire works
bursting in air
are a spark of inspiration.

 Fire grows
day lilies, aloe, roses
fire pokers, and burning bush.

 Fire blows
flame throwers sculpt
a transparent glass lamp.

Fire streaks
across the sunset--
sailors delight.

 Fire flies
in the blink
of a lightning bug.

   And to think I thought I'd have a problem coming up with enough fire poems.  I have some more for tomorrow too.  Can you imagine the illustrations for these short poems?  I can.  Can you write a poem today about the sun rise?  Have fun writing.

      Thanks Linda. I thought I was ready to move on to stone, but fire keeps tugging and the more time I spend with it, the better the verses. And I have more ideas for rhyming the verbs and ordering the poems.
