Perilous Fire

Perilous Fire
Written By Brett Somers
On 3-17-16

Is it not clear 
That fire which you fear
Will burn you when it is near
So why do you throw
Fire?
With each blow 
You must certainly know
That your critical voice
Your vengeance choice
Has burnt ten fold 
The very hand which you hold
That fire

Laura Breidenthal August 16, 2018 at 12:07 AM I adore fire poems. Like a moth to a flame I am! Truly I've been enjoying your work displayed here on the soup, Brett. Fire in the wrong hands is deadly. Another intriguing one to ponder. Always, Laura Umnewa Brett Somers Formerly Winkofheart August 17, 2018 at 3:51 PM It's clear though through your kind words that your words are more of the cooling essence of water. I think actual physical fires are nice too and actually warm the heart as opposed to words packed with this type of fire.

My best regards! :) john Umnewa Brett Somers Formerly Winkofheart March 18, 2016 at 11:49 AM Thank you John. Sometimes we don't know where the fire is until we look at our own hands.
