The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

The Wild of Life and Fire   
by Asena Lourenco 

As I dipped my toes into the fresh pool of blue,

Amber streams danced in the clouds, and on their mirror too,

Crisp breath filled my lungs as I drew in the air,

Courtesy of the olive towers standing proud and fair,

.

But within one blink, amber rays licked up the leaves,

And the warm hues of the sky faded into charcoal thieves,

Robbing the land of all life and light,

And beginning with the premature night.
