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.
