I
watch, as
fire falls
from up above,
in the pitch of night.
Brightening dark heavens,
painting the sky; ambience
sets the mood for lovers below.
Nestled, beneath the stars, they embrace
as the heat continues to spark within

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only! Her two words are Give and Shake. Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge. Have fun!
Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Abandoning and Shudder.
As winter snow falls,
I shudder in the cold air,
Abandoning warmth.
Much like dear autumn’s last leaf,
Who dares to cling too tightly.

Crystallized
A raindrop, frozen
Within time
Warms the soul
Though its delicate beauty
Swiftly melts away
December Writing Prompt – The life of a snowflake

Piercing yellow eyes
Unhuman in the darkness
