    Whilst I rather enjoy a good poem or two, I've never been much for writing it (though I've always had a skeleton of ideas lingering around in my head). But I figured the time is right to give it a shot the way I did back in high school. Don't expect greatness, but expect nothing less than a sincere effort. Critique is welcome, and appreciated in advance. So off to the grit I'm here for...

    A poem that's been in the back of my head for a month or two.
    Running Title: Built by Fire​
    It doesn’t take much to start a fire.
    Just take that kindling and strike your match;
    A little spark is it all it takes.
    Watch it, feed it; build it higher.
    The bigger it is, the warmer you’ll be.
    Keep some water or dirt at hand.
    It could get wild, so just remember:
    Never play with fire.​

    Thank you very much. It's bit of both. Relaying a point of advice on the basis of personal experiences. Naturally, one must read beyond the words to see the lesson and the experience.
