Lewis Raynes Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

The Fire Inside

What are you doing? Going to the fridge? 
Fantastic, I’ll come along too!
Oh wow, the door, you’re going to open it? 
Oh man, I love hanging out with you.

Devon? Win! And a sausage from last night?
We’re a team, do you now want to play?
I know, I’ll go find and give you the toy, 
You know, the one that you throw away.

Now where? Back to the couch?
Yes, you’re my very best biggest mate,
What’s that? You’re going to give me a rub, 
Your rubs are prize winning, they’re great.

You’re the most biggest best friend of excitement and fun, 
You even drive me to the shops way down town,
I love being beside you every bit of the day,
You’re my fire that’s burning deep down.
