Bonfire Poems - Poems about Bonfire

October’s Child
Born in the breath of woodsmoke and fire, I learned early to love the art of falling. Leaves tumble like poorly kept secrets, trees strip down without shame - modesty’s for summer, after all. October hums with rebellion: bonfires blaze, sunsets bleed, and the wind, cheeky as ever, slips its cold fingers into every undone button. History rattles here - 200 years since Waterloo fell...

Where Stars Collide and Shine Ablaze and Passions Stir where Great Fires Rage, Where Internal Treasures Oscillate and Glow like Wild Fires with Wild Flames, and Ignite by the Zenith within to catch the Zephyr into the Calm Sea Of Bliss, where Bonfires Blaze there I call Home and Drift the Abyss, from Within...

5th of November Bonfire night Why is it we remember Guy fawkes set it alight 5th of November Anti establishmentarian Parliament a burning ember Observance of many puritans A plot was foiled To blow up house of Lords Guy fawkes plan spoiled With dynamite and swords Nowadays celebrated by a bonfire The release of fireworks Pay homage to the people's sire I think it's berserk Not a party pooper...

Please Don’t Lose It
If ghosts are real, what have we done? The skeleton inside of me, taste like blood The shadows are speaking to me, like stones in my pockets Told you about my birthday, but you forgot about it In a city of angels, I smell the bonfire smoke Creatures in the woods, wear a dark green cloak Sliced like crops in a...

Premium Member The bonfire
Was this simply a predestination or one fate made true? It all happened so fast, just as my eyes can blink from green to blue Paper flowers unfolding; artificial growth of life's prose that show rhymes have nothing worthy or anew Tampering with the speed of this time machine, I have lost the governor's screw I'm shaken by how...

A single key turns the lock of the door you’ve been pushing against for all the life in you it takes, the door like Life breaks into a million pieces, and there at your feet like irretrievable moments scattered, you try to avoid the splinters, but you gather them up instead, each splinter a word lit, now the bonfire burns inside the inferno the...

Where Stars Collide and Shine Ablaze and Passions stir where Fires Rage, where Eternal Treasures Oscillate and Philosopher Stones shine like a Solar Sage, where Exotic Gems pulsate from Deep Within and Glow like Wildfires with Wild Flames, where Embers Uproar in a Blaze Of Glory and Ascend towards Legendary, and Eyes Glisten with...

Pilot Lights and a Bonfire
'Tis not a question I've heard often asked: "What is the working model of your love?" Yet how can one set out with what they're tasked, if they don't know the rules their dear thinks of? Such strange query to pose, before she knows you've opted to search through the maze for her. But if there's no map, each choice that...

bonfire woman dances a tango I can barely follow her flames pop and sizzle, swirling in a way that tantalizes I follow her enticing dance with my eyes, wanting to follow it with my feet she is too fast for me, spinning, swaying, dipping, swirling, popping, clicking. I am mesmerized....

A Bonfire In the Rains
We met around a bonfire in the rains Love bloomed and more trysts entailed. Soon we walked down the aisle Candid picture of the perfect couple. Another Monsoon season came Spotted him across the bonfire The embers reminded me burnt photos And suddenly we were strangers again!...

Humid and hot Scorching parking lot Longest day, shortest night Light and dark fight Shorts and tank tops Sandals and flip flops Cutting grass Catching bass Beaches and amusement parks Hungry sharks Summer-do’s Badminton and horseshoes Green grass Oaks and Sassafras Daisies and sunflowers Sun is up for hours Bonfires and torches People on porches White, red, yellow, gold, orange, and...

Bonfire Night
Bonfire night Sparklers dancing in the air Children running without a care Bang, boom, sizzling Fireworks exploding the night sky glowing toffee apples, peas, and pies At night justice began overpowering A man burned at the steak after threatening From then on a celebration began Dancing, fireworks, and much more in the air...
