Wildfire. You know I love you.

Passion enflames my desire to burn;

Then from ashes reclaim your heart anew.

Wild! I love the phoenix aspect, very cool🖤

Wildfire - I think you’re groovy

But I wanna know for sure…

Richbee's avatar

You make my heart snap crackle pop. Embers glow.

(it’s hard to tell what induces the most horror - the prompt or this series of responses)

Ok reading these was a wild ride. Very much enjoyed it!

Songsterfunsterhamster's avatar

Yes, it very much - ahem - caught fire.

Response burns the songs that get replayed. Memory fades but returns to haunt the mores most often thought disturbed with time flashes in the frying pan of years cracking eggs.

Infernal furnaces pump out the dance of possession in Philadelphia, Brixton, the avenues of Carshalton Beaches, Chicago Subways. Your radio static charges urban edifice, beachfront, village skyline. Feel is the rhythm, remembrance the beat.

Burn baby burn

Isn’t it a pity- doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city

Hey boogie brother soul train sister unhook the carriage we won’t stop - fire up these funky engines - our next station: disco town

Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty. Hot down summer in the city.

I’m currently on a train. All around should be grateful I haven’t launched into an impromptu ocarina solo (not least because I don’t possess an ocarina!)

Richbee's avatar

You can hum. Play with a rubber band renown for passing train times. No tickets needed for a ride. Go coach a passenger on the love train down the tracks clack clack. Next stop Chicago music.

Oldie in the groove until skips a beat

Richbee's avatar

That the rhythm. Thanks for remembering wild thing…

Build your dream house in

The foothills. Look at the view!

And now it's on fire.

Wildfires these days, don’t even care about your antique tea cup collection.

"She ran, calling, WIIILLLLDFIIIRE..."

Honeygloom's avatar

“Shhh, if you call it, it will come.”

David Perlmutter's avatar

The "Wildfire" in the song is a horse, not a real wildfire.

Honeygloom's avatar

😂 I believe a horse will also come if you call it.

Forest dry as tinder,

wind arid and insistent -

A hot look could ignite a conflagration.

Honeygloom's avatar

This is so awesome, it’s got a noire feel for me and I love it.

Thanks HG

Distended fingers,

Bleached and curled, knuckle to nail:

These used to be trees

Awesome image! Have seen this many times and this just a great description🖤

Drunk, alone, and cold

Nodding while embers blow wide

Sparking trails of death

Honeygloom's avatar

So dark and tragic, and probably close to the truth at times. Well done🖤

Thea Wood's avatar

Based on true story of a wildfire in Texas. Homeless man’s campfire started it.

Honeygloom's avatar

Wow, says so much about us as a society😞

A wall of fierce flames,

And flickering within them,

A glimpse of Hell's Gates... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Ooo nice image!🖤

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

They have such sights to show you! Haha... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Heck yeah, a little pyromancy 🔥
