Being Silly =P
BEAUTIFUL FLAME
Someone struck a match
And you were born
Invention's quite a catch
From nature's combustion torn
Oh, Beautiful Flame, so-to-speak
On sight candles go weak
At the knees, level the forest
The hearth warm, and you never rest
Mesmerized by the toy
No one glows as brightly
Terrified to destroy
None devours as fiercely
Near you I'm hot, but learn
Touch you and I burn
Unkempt combustion is thrown
Give me a torch of my own!
Beautiful Flame, this isn't a game
(I usually don't try so hard to rhyme or maintain some semblance of a style because it always seems cheesy to meh xD)
Would it be better to to make it all uniformly aabbcc etc., or keep it alternating like it is now? o___O I could see it going both ways. =P
