In dragon’s burning breath
There rages fire,
Bent on earth destruction
It does not tire, of
Burning up all sources
Known for fuel.
Emptiness and barrenness,
Such fool,
To leave a path of chaos
In its wake,
Heaving earth,
Obliterate
And shake
Foundations
To their very core.
Consumptive greed,
Nought for evermore.

With thanks to Mark’s Gallery for these pictures he posted, depicting bush fires currently rampant in Australia. He kindly obliged with photos of Fire after I had joked that I was going to write poems working my way through all the elements, having done some on Air and Water. These pictures, although of actual events, elicited in me an entirely different sort of response. My apologies if some of them are depressing! But some of them are loving and sensual. So a good balance I would say, eh?

And when you actually hear a fire coming towards you, you are right, it’s like a dragon screaming through the bush. Well written. Thank you for the creations 🙂
