    Poem Commentary

    I was watching a fire the other day and this came to mind. I hope you enjoy it. BTW it wasn't my house Thank God. God Bless those poor people.

    FIRE SONG

     a cloud of smoke looms in the air
    so thick the sun disappeared
    bright yellow flames rapidly grow
    eating away what used to be home

    as I stood and watched with wonder
    hot yellow tongues licking upward
    it just took one little spark
    and all was lost, my world grew dark

    in the midst of blissful calm
    the flames began their destructive song
    whistling, cracking, and moaning too
    a hollow sound that blows straight through

    everything now and past
    all is lost, burned up so fast
    I'm amazed at what I saw
    flames with seemingly no flaws

    so now I start my life anew
    to the old one, bid adieu
    keeping in mind that fateful morning
    disaster comes without warning

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
