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. Arlene Smith Contest: LIGHT A FLAME!

Never mind lighting a flame, if I was a candle, I'd never burn out. Fine poetry, written wonderfully, leaving the reader smiling, as it should be, James :)
