I once put out a wildfire
why I'll never know
I'm sad I lost that fire
I won't do that no more
She walked into my memories
like a whirl wind caught on fire
I ask to share her passion
but in the end I was a Lair
I wanted all her passion
for me and no one else
I went and tamed the wildfire
and in the end I fooled myself
Author notes
FOr all those ladies out there that live life to the fullest, I hope no one every tames you. To lose your Passion is to lose yourself

Keep Smiling...
In reply to your editing question -
Your poem's title has your name underneath, and the date you posted it.
To the right of the date is where you should be able to click to edit your poem, as mine has underneath, like this:
(edit) (bookmark) (print) (next)
But I noticed yours doesn't have this edit option. I wonder why? Could it be the format you selected for your poem's page design?
Or maybe it's because you posted this poem so many months ago, and the web designer changed the page format to enable us to edit our poems?
Maybe they'll want you to post them again in their new format? Just a wild guess - too much work though, huh?
You have your hands full over in Iraq... and more poems to write, too.
Take care,

lovely writing; well worded and message well understood.
the reference to "wildfires" is insightful and sadly for a lot of women; all too true. a thoughtful poem which i enjoyed reading very much.

I corrected some typo's
I am a little put out by this, pun very much intended. Why you wanted to have a metaphorical wildfire burn is of no consequence to me. I do like the way you made a statement though.
Why you did you not make the edit as asked? I am sorry. camen
