This is an interesting take on the concept of fire. I like it very much It's a shame that the restrictions of the poem's format precluded a snippet on flames to go with the spark and embers. I hope it does well in the contest.

    well the flames were really in the ignition but it seems everyone's gone and pour water on it so no more fire lol maybe this means there will be no more wars lol.

This is a terrific entry for the 5-7-5 Fire contest. It's a powerful analogy for the subject matter and you create vivid word pictures. Great artwork to bring your message home. Good luck in the contest.

    Don't be deterred by stars or lack thereof. Poetry is very subjective. This was powerful.

    Its just a pity some cant open their eyes, what we read has to make a connection and without that connection we have no understanding, forget the stars, thats politics we live in the real world ... thank you.

This is a unique entry for the 575 fire contest. Your syllable count is correct. You have provided a nice comparison between a raging fire and raging hate. Great job and thank you for sharing.

    Many thanks I thought I would try and take a more creative look at the idea rather than the two dimensional aspect so I thought I might like to put it in three D.

Interesting writing in this poem that conveys the truth that evil is A Spark that tends to spread and history shows the results of it including the Nazis. However, the good news is it God is greater.

Very powerful piece on an incredibly dark time in human history. Genocide is still taking place in this world right now, and it needs to stop. Thank you for bringing it back to light.

So it does indeed! Nothing corrupts people more than even the allure of power! And when people with actual power go evil...the world burns because of their actions! A good entry for the contest! Best wishes!

Good word count. Nice presentation and a true story to boot in three short lines. Good luck in the contest. A very creative approach to the subject 'fire'. Good luck in the contest.
