Fire Dancer

Fire Dancer Rising flames of crimson energy – inferno of fire and ice, Choreographs her blazing steps – kindles bonfires of pirouettes Fire bird not consumed by flames – incandescent luminosity. 5-30-20 Sponsor: Jenish Somadas Contest: Let the Pens Flow - Sijo

Hi Sam, is there perhaps a little wink, wink towards the Frost poem Fire and Ice? I so enjoyed your musings on heat for this Sijo contest entry... crimson energy is so creative! The dance references in line 2 are lovely. Stravinsky Firebird nod maybe? My fave was "Incandescent luminosity". An excellent entry, my friend. Blessings ~ John
