Your
heart
was ice,
Your heart
was fire, You
froze and blazed
until I grew tired, Until
it snowed upon my
funeral pyre, You
dragged me
down but
I
flew higher, A phoenix risen from the
fire, Preserved in ice and seared with
ire, At last I’ll be what I desire, I’ll
freeze and blaze and never tire,
My heart is ice, My heart is fire.
Today I have been inspired by a prompt I found here. It was to write using antithesis, or contrasting terms, opposites.
Hi Serena, Very nice contrasts in your poem. Especially the first part with a heart of ice and fire. If you want more visitors go ahead and read the other poet’s work. On Thursday we have an Open Link which mean that you can link up any poem we have written. So it is almost never too late.
Björn 🙂
Thank you Björn. I do visit other poets’ blogs already but will certainly be back to dVerse more often!
Wonderful response to the prompt! I missed this prompt, as I had a rather busy weekend, but hope to see you more at dVerse!
Thanks Bryan. Yes I’ll definitely get over there as much as I can, I like to be challenged!
This is masterfully done Serena!!! Love it
