Few Too Little

Fire, Your soul is burning, Burning its demons within, Burning hate, burning fear, And all its demons bring, Earth, Your soul is growing, Growing its roots below, Growing tall, growing strong, Growing quick, not slow, Water, Your soul is leaking, Leaking your goodness away, Leaking love, leaking warmth, To another, whose heart youve slain, Few too little people, Will ever get to see, The warmth you have, the warmth you hold, The warmth you gave to me.

Nice idea, and executed with a dab of panache. 7. The ending's a little wishy-washy, but as a whole, there's still something there to interest the reader.

Dumb yanks. I'd say something to the effect of "Don't mind them, they're still mad from when we burned down the white house", but the poem just isn't that great. Still, "dumb yanks".
