Two Tricube Poems About My Firey Personality

I decided to try out a new poetry form, the Tricube. A few hours later, I found myself staring at these two poems, wondering which one conveys my sentiments more clearly. I would love to hear what you think.

Heartfire

by Rachel Hoyt

I try hard

to tone it

down for you,

But flare ups

and blow ups

just happen.

My soul won't

extinguish

its heartfire.

On Fire

by Rachel Hoyt

I'm on fire

all the time,

burning bright.

You love to

watch me burn

and add fuel,

Then you say,

"Keep the heat

to yourself."

Thank you for reading! If you would like to see another side of me, visit me at RachelHoyt.com.

Beachy Winter

This weekend it
is going to rain ice cold spit.
Just one thousand feet up higher
snowflakes will possibly glitter the night sky.
Beachy winter's finally here, not just lurking nearby.

My poet friend, Eric "Bubba" Alder invented the above poetry form recently. It's called a Frost, named and created for his favorite poet, Robert Frost. Head on over to his blog to learn how to crate your own Frost. Or, perhaps you'd prefer to write a Frostic? One thing is for sure. Everyone wants a little frosting in their lives. Don't you agree?

This rhyme is being shared in Poetry Pantry #31. Come on over and join in the fun!

I am also adding this poem to Poet's Rally Week 40. Come over and see!
