Word and Poem of the Week

Ok, I kind of have to make this brief. The people who guessed last week's (or month's, I can't tell which) poem were Alina (first) and Ambika (second). **clap, clap clap**. This week's WOTW (Word of the Week) is vex: to annoy, to perplex, to puzzle. Remember, you can join the contest to try to get the best sentence/phrase/sentence fragment using the word vex. there are no prizes for this contest, or any other WOTW contest. If you have ideas for future words, please e-mail me. That is, if you know my e-mail. I am not putting it on the internet!

And now for the POTW (Poem of the Week):

Fire

It sheds its warmth,

passes through the streets

very

quickly,

destroying everuthing

in its

path.

It gives light,

and inspiration,

Yet leaves depression

as it subsides.

It is awesome,

ever-changing,

bringing joy and hope,

yet loss and despair.

It is different,

unexpected,

Traveling through

the streets.

It gives illusion

of great comfort,

While leaving behind it

Grief.

If you guess the author of the poem correctly (by e-mail, of course), then you will be mentioned in the next POTW post.

Meanwhile, please leave your truthful comments about this poem in the comments section.
