Fire In the Rain

Fire In The Rain

Flickering torch upon windowsill
In turbulent air whirls the windmill
Red heats the beads of mornings kiss
Electrified volt of Terra’s abyss
Illuminating glass separates the elements
Neither shall embrace in remembrance.
Ticks of time resonate the patter of drops
Heard as I gaze past the glistening treetops
Everlasting Earth, water, air and fire
Reclaiming each realm and to each their desire.
Aimlessly I ponder by candlelight
Inner most thoughts ends this quite spring night
Now I blow out my candles flame…and smile.

Rizwana Bhurani Date: 4/30/2016 8:59:00 AM Superb form...acrostic and sonnet combi....lovely imagery...gl Login to Reply Brian Cecil Date: 4/30/2016 3:04:00 PM Much of my work can fall under multiple forms. I tend to think of most under the Rhyme heading. If I was to look closer most would be Sonnets. Acrostic form on this one was a requirement by Brian, hence the combination of the two. I see by your list of work that you are far more learned on the specifics on which form is which. That is something I envy. Many thanks.
