Best Ignite Poems

the dream’s
to make 
a difference
an impact
in someone’s life
to spark
that twinkle
in their eye
and stir
the passion
in their heart

Stone is crushed,
Turned to powder,
Pierce the mind,
As the silence grows louder.
Devastation has begun.
All is lost, never see the sun.
Reach deep within, expose your pain.
Release the tears that still remain.
Without a clue connection ended.
To pieces shattered, never mended.
Wind it back to be the same.
Destroy the dark,...

Live life like a firecracker today 
Knowing the right time and day 
To burst into the air and light the sky 
Ignite your inner fire everywhere 
Share your smile to others around 
Enjoy the music and sound 
Of happiness in every breathe you take

Infiltrate my mind
Permeate my reason
Make me lose all self-control
Commit lyrical treason

Enter my hidden chambers
Decipher the encryptions on my walls
Manipulate my thoughts
Make my rationality fall

Breach my comprehension
Complicate my conception
Intrude on my insight
Invade my perception

Penetrate my mental
Boldly state your claim
Ignite my intellect   
Watch it burst...

Splayed, spread out Eagle
Perfumed she, petals ignite
Scent of my lover
Allures, soon to excite I
Attraction, satisfaction

You ignite my soul,
We combust the night away,
Your flame to my wick.

Poem: Ignite A Fire
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September /1985



Let's ignite
a fire -

brothers
and
sisters,

Let's 
ignite a fire -

through
education,

to rise 
above
the
stereotype's,

that says:

We can't 
learn -

We all 
sag 
our pants -

Most 
of us
are unemployed
and
on welfare -

We all
carry guns -

And
they say:

More
of us
are in prison
than 
in college -

They think 
they 
know us,

based 
primarily 
on
skin color -

Let's ignite
a fire,

Let's
do it
with
intelligence,

solidarity,
peace
and
unity -

Then
and
only then,

can...

God ignite the fire in me 
Not just a little light that burns so trite 
But an inferno that consumes with might! 

God ignite the fire in me 
Not easily extinguished by life 
But a radiating torch that emanates light! 

God ignite the fire in...

With ink and mind, a future bright,
In education's noble fight.
For every child, a chance to soar,
Equity's flame, forevermore.

The curriculum, a vibrant stream,
With skills for life, a modern dream.
Assessment's lens, a wider view,
Beyond the test, a world anew.

From home to school, a hand to hold,
Engage the...

Oh, prepare ye prancing pixies
Ignite the fireflies
reveal to us in moonlight
What in the soil abides
Awake the buds
Call forth their blooms
Conduct the feathered choir
As in the hum of nature’s womb
May’s dreams of life conspire

Burn the gallows to the ground,
Cease to follow fear.
Raise your voice, make a sound.
The revolution’s near.
Some may die for our cause,
But their passion reaps rewards.
Find and fix our nation’s flaws,
Let words ring like chords.
The people become incendiaries,
Waiting to ignite.
Anger rises; on wings it’s carried
To the...

Ignite that spark 
And better yourself 
You can inspire
Climb to that top shelf 
Give yourself a chance 
Make a run for that gate 
Fill your world with hope
Be the one to elevate...

POETRY LESS
Sitting at my computer with my silly hat on,
Not knowing what to write,
I really feel sad, down, really not bright,
My muse is no help at all tonight,
As I struggle to think with all my might!
The situation lately is quite,
A challenge, and in spite,
Of my...
