Best Flaming Poems


And Then a Flaming Pterodactyl Ate My Homework

It was our third-grade field trip to the Dinosaur Exhibit
We would be touring all the lands that dinosaurs inhibit
I remember the teacher saying “keep your hands inside your pockets”
Then she paired me with the meanest kid, his name was Tommy Rockets
“I dare you to take an egg,” Tommy whispered giving me a stare
The nest was...

How the ambrosia of a crescent moon 

pours honey on night's gypsy dance,

inflaming spoon of lips ... to blaze lovers' kiss!

Flaming Lips and Fingertips

With flaming lips and fingertips
casting words of cockeyed quips
behind a face powdered in white
preys a jackyll with teeth that bite

rouge on cheeks, evil guile at play
opened bottles of rich pouilly fume'
fruit of the vine, wine more devine
than one who waits for you, supine

Painted brows and charcoaled eyes
don't be fooled by a gender disguise
a fool you...

Premium Member Child's Play

I have a toddler who loves to play
Pretend – imaginary friend, make-believe
She pierces my heart with her adventures
Into the fantasy land of dinosaurs,
Dungeons and dragons, long lost voyages
With pirates and princes – feeling
Invincible, indestructible, unshakable
Like she has the tiger by the tail
And is sure to always win in the end

I’m still in college and this...

From out of the west and the flaming Sun, an entrance he did make.
There’s none like this one, an American Eagle, make no mistake!
He’d served in all the Western wars… and cleaned up many a town.
What he was doing here in ours… Totally, held the breath of all.

It seemed the West had gone tame to...

Premium Member Flaming Ripples---Etheree

comes
wistful,
in a gloss
of  frothy drifts
she cruises near bends...
old river dressed in leaves
peach-gold like October tides.
And ripples splash through a varnished
light, crests twirling on pale twigs,wildbuds; 
flaming river’s last glide …. prelude to snow.

Fiery Red Flaming Poem - Hot Passion and Romance - For Adults Only

Sizzling soft finger tips, 

Blaze gently across my body,

Feeling the hiss of her heat,

Steam rises as we entwine our limbs,

Burning lips trace my ear as she whispers of paradise,

Both longing for this heaven to last,

Love sears our hearts as desire leaps from eyes,

While two passions melt into one,

We fly together to ecstasy before a scarlet...

Flaming Autumn

I hear the crackling beat of 
Castanets and fast strumming guitars 
As autumns blustery storm lifts 
Fallen red, yellow and orange leaves
Twisting and twirling them like a Gypsy girl’s skirt  
As she dances around campfire flames.

Flaming Phoenix

In amongst the burning trees 
Stood a creature still as breeze
In its eyes burned a fire 
Its contagion was its strange attire.

There about its godly perch
I lost all senses as it chirped
its vessel bore the marks of greed
Its beak inscribed a slave's decree

And when it suddenly spoke to me
My heart came empty, skipped a beat
For...

Quenched Flaming Dreams

With heart drenched in love
They served our dear land
With talents dripping
From their eyes and speech
They spilled services. 



These flaming dreams
Lost in blade's thirst
Were kits of hope
And great, their deeds.


Why the slay
With daggers?
 For no cause      


Crack brained
 Hoodlums


Why? 

Dedicated to Nigerian youth corps, who were killed during their post graduation...
