This is not about my home or family..It is a combination of my father telling of their home burning when he was a child and a neighbor up the road house burned to the ground a few months back..Sara

The fire Takes our home Old ice maker In the garage still works Makes ice Tears flow As we drink Sweetened iced tea In new glasses given By friends Sponsor: Carol Sunshine Brown Contest: Fire And Ice Cinqku form Written by: Sara Kendrick This fourth day of December, 2012 Click on "About This Poem"

masterful I'd say and I'm so glad it was not your house, although the neighbor may not say so. So inventively told.

what a most interesting way to combine the ideas of fire and ice. Was it true that this happened? clever!

This really is a sad write, but it is so very brilliantly written my friend! I'm glad to see you try the Cinqku again! It's a tough form, but quite effective when done correctly as you have done here! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
