Standing in the fire
Letting it all burn
Watching the world die
Will they ever learn
The end will come again
But it is so cold
As hatred spawns anew
I’ll watch the world unfold
Watching the world end
Watching ice attack
I stand alone as they all go
I want the fire back

Now, that has --- might have me speechless. I haven't wrutten in a while either, but your peom really caught my attention. As for this, I felt like you acknowledged
Frost's work, but you didn't over do it, and that, in my opinion, is what made it so beautiful. The depth in itself is hidden, but there is enough of a peak to show that there's something more to fire and ice. Nicely done.

Greetings my friend. This is a great poem. A strong write....I like the ice/fire stance that you took on this. A nice smoothe rhyme...not forced, which can sometimes be hard to do. Lovely write.
Warmest,
Mylee
