Notes About The Poem

Fire

order growing   complexity flowing 
interlacing   bonds creating 
sl o o o w w w ly assembling
mother nature's love

a seed establishes r
                            o
                             o

                            s

                       
shyly extends tendrils ~~~

ignition TEMPERature   flashes, nothing left but

ashes

a seed
establishes roots
shyly extends tendrils

Congratulations on your 2nd place win, David. The cyclical pattern of creation and destruction aligns well with the Suzette Swan Arc, and the imagery supports fluid transitions, strengthening the closing sequence. Su
