Fire Fever
September 19, 2012
It starts, with a spark
A shine in the dark hour
Sets off a chain, and I’m
A little scared of the power
The temperature rises
And I grow a little bit tired
I glisten like a diamond as the
The heat becomes higher
Fires grow brighter
Climb so much higher
All the fires
Never ever tired
The flames lick me
My burns begin to swell
Outside, I’m totally fine
But inside, not as well
I think that I’m
Catching a fever
From this devastating devilish heat
I think that I’m
Losing hope, ‘cause these
Fires seem impossible to beat

Wow That's amazing. It's different but interesting. I think that this poem actually sounds better than something proffessional done.
