I like the combination of words we have this week for Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge. Gem and ‘Flame’.
Here are my two takes.
When we pass through circumstances
Of life’s searing flames
We become refined rare gems.
**********
A gem he proved not to be
She heartily bade him goodbye
Their flame of lust had gone cold.

The first poem speaks mountains of wisdom and insight into rising above life’s circumstances. A reminder that ‘this too shall pass.’ Wonderful weaving of words.
