Smoke and Ruins not so long
beyond the time
when rising heat
ate filmy smokecoolness colored
darkling ashes
and exposed
those buried mirrors

Smoke and Ruins for Magpie Tales
Magpie Tales #23 Each week Willow posts an image to be used as a springboard for a vignette or poem. This week the image shows a fire extinguisher. As always, my offerings are in draft form.

lovely words, darkling ashes exposing those buried mirrors....nice magpie...bkm
I like it, TW!
I liked your Magpie ... I have buried many mirrors in my lifetime ~ all of them with less than flattering images.
nice magpie tale you've woven from the prompt. have a great night.
I especially love the deepening (and dark-toned) music of the second stanza!
Oh yes. Buried mirrors. I've held a few of those myself. Glad that they are buried. Wonderful writing!
'darkling ashes'. I do love those words!
Lovely choise of words.
Lovely one
"when rising heat / ate filmy smoke"

Dear TW: This excellent poem! Illustrative and illuminating fractal with wonderful fire bouquet! I love your use of the Elements here! Coolness making the fire exist; like a mirror image in reverse. These two Elements need each other to survive...how well thought out this amazing poem. I love it!
very beautiful!
Happy Sunday!
Don't often describe a poem as "pretty," but this one calls for it!
Beautifully crafted piece. Great Magpie.
That´s very well written!
those last lines make this poem...very nicely played!
One of the better magpie poems.
Poetry is like breathing to me, not every breath is as fragrant as this one.
Very well written! Such a vivid response to the prompt! Excellent post!

Fire is powerful, but doesn't last. Great description of the remains!
Very vivid imagery! Kinda made me think of the big bang, and the formation of the Universe.. I wonder why...
A beautiful poem, complemented by a fantastic image of slender, dancing flames!
Sometimes life is all smoke and mirrors!
well written loved the images and the thoughts this one provokes!
Hmmm, you've got me thinking. Do the fires of life and the reactions they produce distort our reflections of our experience or is the smoke merely the story we tell ourselves to help us make sense of it all....?
