Photo prompt @ J Hardy Carroll
A hint of smoke
A tinge of heat
A fiery ghost
Alerting me
Behind me now
Bugging me
A fiery ghoul
Bizarrely, cold
Cannot compute
Caught just a glimpse
A fiery glow
Closely creeps
Distressingly close
Desperate, disquieting
A fiery grief
Descending, depression
Embraces me
Entices too
A fiery guilt
Erodes sanity
Freedom in flight
Fear coats all
A fiery ghosting
Phantasm evolves
Gasping, gagging, gabbling
GET AWAY FROM ME
A fiery gimmick
Ghostly graffiti
Horror hounds
Hope abandons
A fiery gasp
Hands restrain
I am lost
I am hopeless
A fiery gangster
Inveigles surrender (95 words)

RANDOM THOUGHTS by Trish 
Beautifully done. How I wish I could write such delicious poetry! You certainly made us see the scenes clearly, and feel the emotion.

Such a fascinating, twisty story told in verse. I like how the last couple of lines sum up the conflict without entirely providing a resolution. There’s an interesting feel to it all.

Shades of the inferno. I was so caught up in the images that I missed the initial letter structure of the stanzas. Clever conceit. 🙂

Thank you Bill. In the end, I found it cumbersome. But once I decided on the thread, I stubbornly held on 🙂

A shame you had to stop at ‘I’ – the ‘J’ verse would’ve been tough! Imaginative structure Trish.

Maybe for fun, I’ll add the rest of the alphabet. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Then it felt stupid by the end 🙂
