Basking in the Flames
A Smoking Hot Ending
Burning your sweatshirt
Wishing I could do the same
To the memories I harbor
They keep my feelings at bay
Something in me wants to stay running
About the flames
Melting away at my core
Once again
Another Ivy League shirt of yours
Sprawled in ribbons across the floorboards
While I cloud myself in cannabis
The flames keeping me company
My eyes seem to slow time itself
The clock hands barely rummaging around the tally marks
Pushing aside the minutes
As I revel in the seconds
That I'm liberated of your presence
Inhaling the smoke without hesitation
In the same manner that I swallowed your venom

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
