Arlene Smith Poet Rhyme

Ravenous Flames

Ravenous Flames

Such beautiful, writhing creatures,
devouring the wind that nurtures.
The one element darkness fears.
Their hypnotic invitation;
drawing curious creation...
"Our hunger to fill, come closer."
Tasting prey with tongues that ignite;
morphed to serpants, striking night..
Once succombed, quickened flames now leer.
