Winter Fireplace

Teagan Ketterman

O’ Warmth 

Hearth of fire 

Its embers grow and die 

Crackling and casting shadows 

The blaze swells, swells, swells, columns of smoke rise  

 

O’ Warmth 

As it reaches 

To touch the midnight sky 

Its wicked tongue hisses and spits 

To slither up, up, upwards o’ so high
