The Fierce Fire

Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition

The fierce flashing fire flickered forwards,
The immense wall of red engulfed everything,
Willing to take anything,
And demanded to leave nothing.

Like a bird it soared up demolishing the sky,
Unpleasant booms echoed thunderously,
The screams satisfied the ruler,
Until the screams were left scattered, running.

His fury stabbed bodies like a knife,
Impaling them with no regrets,
As he lurked inside their souls,
Until their skin was left charred and hearts melted.
