Pele Meets Prometheus, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
Mammy Fire
Dwarf Corkscrew
Hibiscus corona color
The acropolis
Wants to meet her
The chimney sweep
Has no chance
Forever the flickers dance
Diamond Head
Plato’s homestead
Nero burned Rome
But left Athens alone
Siva Afi
Across the ocean
Their eyes meet
Kindred kindle
The flint is sparked
The satin floats
The heat of flesh
Their bodies mesh
The monk immolates
Joan tied to the stake
It’s all a protest
They cant resist
White dots
Sparkle at midnight
Emotions crackle
Spectators Orion
Little and big
Neither wear the fig
Two octopi
Intertwined
Oxygen
Fuels them
5 alarms
Smoke detector
Dejected
It’s given up
It knows this pair
Will never stop.
