Poetry Slam

Jenn's haiku challenge theme this week is

FLAMES!

In high school he was
just a flame -- but he's the one
I'll love forever.

My temper flames up.
I can't express how I wish
I could let it go!

A flame sucks me in.
Hypnotized, I gaze through
to a secret place.

    I, too, find it easy to become mesmerized by flames...

    Imagine the flames!

    great haikus!

    I love the use of the Pollock to illustrate strong feelings, such a great metaphor!
