Don't play with Fire

Don't play with Fire

A Poem by MandaBear
"

I wrote this about Pyrophobia (Fear of fire and being set on fire). I hope you like it :)

"
Snap....Crackle....Pop....
The smell of smoke fills the room.
No way to get out; No way in.
Suffocating on dirty air.

Run...Run...Run away.
No place to hide.
Getting hotter and hotter.
The smell coming closer. 

Snap...Crackle...Pop 
Sound is approaching fast 
No time to get away
Being engulfed as we speak

Burnt ashes on the floor 
No remains left of what once was.
Fire waged a war and won.
Life is now up in smoke.

Snap...Crackle....Pop...................

I have a frnd who has this kind of phobia, he never goes to his kitchen, even stays away from fire in picnics... I will show this to him, I know he will relate to its feelings... Lovely Manda....

Fire would be a terrible death. I like the way you described the fire and the burn. I believe fire is the fear of the most of us. Thank you for sharing a excellent poem.

A very good poem that accurately protrays fears that pyrophobes have. The poem was very well written and I didn't see any grammar errors.

This reminds me of a pyrophobic dream scene that I wrote once...fire has always fascinated me in an odd way...Anyway, great poem! In my opinion, though, the snap, crackle, pop line makes the poem seem rather humorous; I'm not sure if that's how you wanted it to be or not.
