Fire and Ice by tfprince @ deviantART |
A deep cooling breath to chill my blood
Trying to ignore the desire
Dancing in your wanton eyes,
Praying that my cold front
Lingers, but your touch
Sets ice on fire,
Betraying
My own
Heart.
~~~~ This prompt was inspired by a prompt from Poetic Bloomings asking for poems about betrayal. The form is a nonet, written for the form challenge over at Poetic Asides. Also linked up for Open Link Monday at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.

Whew, that was hot. Best of luck with your melted ice! ;)
Ah, great fusion of Ice and fire! I'm going to check out that form, which allowed you to be as powerful as a haiku.
Nice nonet form...I like the ice turning to fire...sizzling write ~
Powerful and reminds me of that song...Fire n' Ice...well done! :D
ice on fire...hmm.let the sparks fly!
Very cool...or should I say hot. :) Like very much!
That is a stunning picture - and your words have captured the dichotomy of fire and ice very well. I love your structure too.
mmm...nice to thaw a bit on occassion...smiles....
Very nicely done, Mary, both the words and the format.

There's so much going but sadly a betrayal. The nonet looks enticing. Great write Mary!
