Conflagration - a Perfect Storm

Conflagration Kindling building upon the edge of the fortress, --slights— real and imagined, --daggers— slashing scars stabbing wounds untended --Cupid’s arrows— piercing a heart repelled in stony silence --Anger’s tinder— aching for immolation --a lone spark— igniting the brittle detritus A Perfect Storm raging against the confines of its life. ©9/30/2017 submitted to – A Perfect Storm – Poetry Contest

A perfect poem John! The fires in California have really done such damage and Oregon too burning aged trees as well. Such is the way of the world. Excellent! : )
