Fire

crackle crackle
the sheets of yellow
red and orange
lick the rocks 
like kittens and milk
sizzle sizzle
filled with danger 
and beauty
mysterious and seductive
almost aluring in a sense
leaping across the burning wood
like ballerinas on a stage
crackle crackle
burn
sizzle sizzle
fire

I love this piece! Fire does have a seductive flare while at the same time can be harmful to bare. Great expression!
