Jewel Fire

My 1440 Contest 1-20-26 Quintain without rhyme per contest suggestions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jewel Fire

Flames of deep amber glint in topaz fire
Crystal facets smolder in conflagration's hunger 
Then flash in sparks of golden flares
Light's impassioned blaze set free
In endless fireflies of whimsy.

Hi LJ! Thank you. I am so glad that you decided to comment on this fiery little "gem." One never knows when life will ignite a firestorm of whimsy. It is so good to hear from you. Have missed your poems and your messages. Had a chance to look at your poems. I love your storytelling ability. There is such depth in their simplicity. Take care, my friend! Blessings to you!😄
