Playful Fire

Who wants to be
a big oak tree
on the side of a hill
that's ready to kill?

All the green climbing
up it's side
then the molten rock flows;
it immediately dies.

The mountain got angry
and spit out it's core,
opened it's mouth
like a hidden trapdoor

Quiet black fire
hidden away
secretly evoked
now ready to play

All the villages scream,
but the trees just go
while everything else
runs from this deadly flow.

Poetry is love and love is life.

Very good poem.. And I believe that everything has a purpose.. Trees... Well, Oxygen, wood, fire.. all that stuff..

quote:
Who wants to be
a big oak tree
on the side of a hill
that's ready to kill?



This part bugged me. 'ready to kill?' doesnt seem to make sense.. But thats just me.

Anyone can write, But only poets can capture the heart.

I liked how this poem reads, you've done a great job.

Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent.

Thanks everyone for your support. Connel...I wrote this poem in English at school for a personification project and I made it give an imagery of a volcano or of fire some minds...on the side of a hill ready to kill is basically a metaphor of something describing a volcano. The hill would be the volcano and the lava or "fire" would be the destructive part or the part that is ready to kill. Thanks for reading my poem and I appreciate all the votes.

Poetry is love and love is life.
