Fire Sets
April 18, 2015
Fire sets
I feel the heat
Of the flame
Flicker beat
Licking at
Surrounding air
Fire burns
Only where
Ghosts have been
And ghosts will be
Fire sets
Fire frees
Fire burns
Forever long
Till the ice
Burns it gone
Melts the ice
With burning rage
Fire trapped
In an icy cage
The ice has lived
Yet it yearns
For fire that
Forever burns
Fire sets
Inside the ice
But fire never
Plays it nice
Ice has learned
But not quite yet
To never lie
Where fire sets

I wrote this for the Young Authors Contest when I was in 8th grade. This poem won second place in my county. I have won the Young Authors contest for poetry three years in a row.
