Poem

More poems, right? Heh. I kind of like this one. All the lines but one have the same beats, but I'm not sure if the rhythm is quite there. "Fire" always feels like it should have two syllables, but it's really only one. I looked it up, just to be sure. This is what I get for watching shows about volcanoes over the weekend...

Wind and Fire

Greedy Fire ate the woods--
combustible pairing!
Lonesome Wind howled her last--
left Fire sputtering.

With nothing left to breathe,
Fire went from blaze to spark.
Consumed with consumption,
leaving only scorched bark.

Wind had just held her breath,
she hid behind the sky.
Watched Fire burn himself out,
and she saw her Fire die.

With Sister Rain a-waiting
and Brother Smoke there, too
Wind kissed Fire one last time
and then she said adieu.
