Elemental charms II: Fire

Fire is light and warmth, until it sparks where it shouldn't... then it becomes a hungry beast, unsatisfied until only ash remains... a true elemental charm... the write too! Richard

most charmed write amazing Ink Dragon like a spell!!

A little seductive charmer with those innocent lovely dancing blues, greens, yellows and scarlet blood-reds of flames, licking their true poisoned tongues on our bared brain cells. I like this one Nina, love Ann of Norway

You have said so much with a few, well chosen words. Short poems are an art form. Gerry

I loved it ... but then I always do enjoy your writes ... the flames warmed me in such a short poem well done ... Love Jayne x

Ooh Nina, just saying this make the sound of fire licking in my mouth and it builds to a crescendo yet remains poised and balanced, I love it! Really brilliant stuff. I know we write our acrostics a little differently and I'm not comparing, but there is much I can learn from you Nina, thank you for being here :) much love Beki xx

How did I miss this! This is just lovely Nina, so well balanced & full of grace. Loved it. I wrote something with a similar sentiment a while ago, how fire can be so warming & so practically essential, yet dangerous if we have no control... (I just remembered where, it was in a comment to Brian, so it wasn't poem), but here you have put it so beautifully. A pleasure to read & 5 stars PS finally penned your "Ode", but want you to have a look first so will send it as PM, I seem to be in a deeper more vulnerable space recently, it leaked into your ode! Anni xx We dont believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveal

Nina Wow Tower Bridge your picture. I created three large drawings in one afternoon as I was in the mood and they just happened. I have drawn a picture of Tower Bridge - St Pauls Catherdral and Westminsiter Bridge. Tower Bridge and St Pauls I did in pencil. Westminister Bridge I did as my first pen and ink drawing. I am very pleased with the outcome as others have given me great comments on this. I enjoy this new medium and will try others. I also wish to do these pictures in pastel as the stone work are of soft greys pinks golds etc. Depending on the light of day. I travel to London every week this is an amazing bridge so are the other structures. Love your poem. Anthing to do with fire. I am drawn to like a moth to the flame a magnet cannot I help myself. From glowing embers that ignite into hungry flames.For me that can never be extinguished. The beast of the flame has stolen my soul captured forever out of control The crackling tinders echo in my heart as it sets is all a glow with enduring love that overflows Sorry Nina looks like another poem. I have have not done acrostics? not sure what they are but will look it up. As you know I tend to stream most of the time. But sometimes do a few rhyming poems. I know others here really struggle to construct each word. I have seen this in action. Oh the pain and the agony but it is all so worth while hence me writing a poem called Agony of a Poet. With someone in mind as my Muse Always learning from you my friend and all on this site Electric Blue

Fire has always fascinated me. I can sit and stare into it for hours. But I also know the demon it can release with one bit of carelessness. A wonderful write! Always, Cat

D'ont know wot streaming is and all that that stuff nevertheless this leaves me speechless and I am totally overwhelmed by its sheer complexity- I do so wish I could write like you-Wot is this Prometheus if i may dare to ask-Also your icon/picture gives me a complete sense of inner peace and calm-You are a GREAT poet-

i ask? am i right was Prometheus a character from the Beano?

This is why children shouldn't play with fire, never the less it was a beautifull read about my most favorite of elements. Enter: Pandora 2Quills

You are absolutely right. Excellent Poem! Regards, Hugo.

i ask wot does the word pretentious mean-

be daft duck Prometheus is a character from the Beano-

i ask another-Who is the super cool dude of your icon, is she a dear and loving friend of yours, or just some extremely beautiful woman taken from a glossy magazine , curious to know well i think i am.

right i know now-

do i know? I'm not sure if you are fiction or non fiction? and wot does it matter anyway-
