The Arsonist in Hell

The Arsonist in Hell

What it takes to burn,
as the fire moves in turn.
The arsonist is very stern,
but when will he ever learn?

Smoke from buildings floating high,
as the people below start to cry.
Who knows how many will die,
firefighters stare into the fire's eye.

The ashes create a perfect tomb,
here they call the 'living' room.
They watch and await their doom,
as the fire will slowly consume.

With water the firefighters fight,
they try with all their might.
But the flames are burning bright,
they can be seen in the night.

Slowly the fire will die away,
and leave ruins the next day.
But the wicked one will pay,
in the fires of hell he will stay.

    This is a very good poem, I really like it, but as I'm reading it ... it almost seemed like you tried a little too hard to rhyme, maybe try only rhyming two lines at a time instead of four, but other than that it's really good, and I love the 2 ending lines =)

    I thought alot of it was forced rhyming... but, after the poem was over, I thought it all worked with the construction of it. I liked the descriptions you flashed to the reader. Good Job~
