Fire Flower

For a contest

Oh fire flower,

Oh fire flower,

How I do feel and fear your power,

Turns my blood to air,

My bones to dust,

A force I thought I could tame,

But now you have escaped,

All the villagers are done,

There’s no one left to run,

From your eternal flames.

Made me imagine a forest fire, all the animals running to save themselves leaving behind their homes. As always your writing amazes me.

[Monster ^.^]

I was thinking of a field... then it turned into a village... pretty cool though I think the setting should be made concrete from the start... But at least the fire flower's a constant and that's alright ;)

[AWickedMoon]

I was thinking of a small fire then spreading.
