When Fire Flares (Metaphor Workshop) #3

She sat there
waiting for warmth
to conquer the place;

a rampaging dragon
blew to inflame the space,

the fervent
shackled demons
rage with glaring blaze
then nothing works
to let them free

This is the opening of an epic poem.

Rule number one: we open "medias res" (in the middle of things) and our heroine is at her lowest ebb. In the greatest of danger.
This was fun for all it didn't say.

thank you Ian for

The second look and your thoughts are always valued. I've looked up the two woords but seems that the difference is slight to the non native like myself. Therefore I had to go with your suggestion with many thanks.

Hmmm.......

I read this and found 2 places where I'd have used a different word. Then I considered that changing those words would do only that and not really improve anything. Why did I just bore you with my thought process? To prove that I Did give this short poem its proper consideration ............stan
