The given words:
fiery call craft billow chance
frame deal add sing back repair
Fire breather a human
flame thrower
Literally a fiery call of a craft
Not shared by many
Heat and flames billowing
into the sky
An entry that needs
no announcement
Chances are no blisters on the lips
A spectacular feat from one whose
frame of mind seems daring but weird
A deal that astounds on-lookers
He may add more colors
with a sing-song
By a lady in a supporting role
Just so to bring back the crowd
They will then repair for the night
a successful husband and wife act
For Brenda's Sunday Whirl Wordle # 204 and
Mary's at PU's Poetry Pantry # 245
Indeed a spectacular feat.....and I love that you used the word 'billowing' in reference to heat and flames as it is not the typical, calm image that 'billow' usually evokes. Very creative use of the words. I cannot imagine ever wanting to attempt this craft, but it certainly is a fascinating one to watch!
ReplyDeleteMaking excellent use of the given words this proved to be an outstanding poem,
ReplyDeleteWell done Hank.
Absolutely brilliant! :D
ReplyDeletexoxo
Can't even imagine. Bet she makes him rinse his mouth when he's finished his act.
ReplyDeleteA fine tale Hank
Ah.. the skill and daring of not swallowing and billowing... I would guess that at least the taste has to be washed away afterwards.
ReplyDeleteNot shared by many... Let's keep it that way. Those guys scare the hell outta me, Hank. Things sometimes go wrong...
ReplyDeleteHow are you today (except from being #1)? ;)
They sure have a skill, but they can keep that. I'd burn my face off haha
ReplyDeletedangerous.. and i like how you closed the poem :)
ReplyDeleteSunday’s Whirligig is available to help “fill in the gaps” created by Brenda’s three-month absence from The Sunday Whirl. I hope you’ll consider joining in the whirling fun. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely one daring act that sure delights the eyes of many, but still quite more dangerous than how you think of it. I chuckled at your closing lines. Nice one, Hank!
ReplyDelete- ksm
Amazing anyone can do that.
ReplyDeleteHusband and wife act - nice touch.
You have aced this one, Hank. No way could I imagine eating fire, but I have seen it done. It must really take a lot of practice and skill...
ReplyDeleteI like how it ends, a husband and wife act.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite an act, one that I haven't seen ~ I like the ending Hank ~
ReplyDeleteWhen I watch people doing this I just ask "WHYYYYYYYYY????????" LOL. Well written, Hank!
ReplyDeleteI have always been fascinated by these interesting people who can breath fire with seemingly little damage to themselves.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it isn't a fiery marriage. It is in our nature to admire the weird, however our advancement has no doubt been achieved by people attempting to do the impossible or even stupid but more likely to survive by entertaining when money was short or non existent.

ReplyDeleteNow, that is what I call facing your fear..I can safely say I would never join in that act.
ReplyDeletehow clever use of the words Hank!!...i've seen such fire breathers in the circus...love the end lines :)
ReplyDeleteso many things people do for a living
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what on earth would possess anyone to try this. Beautiful poem, nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteif this is their passion, i think it's a win-win situation for them. i'm always fascinated with this kind of stuff.
ReplyDeletechances are no blisters on the lips, amazing the things you write about Hank
ReplyDeleteA daring but weird mind can sometimes have its advantages!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteHighly appreciate your kind words :)
Kaykuala,
ReplyDeleteA most entertaining, but dangerous hobby, or trade. Not my kind of entertainment, as I'm not keen on fire risks etc. Very alive with your poetic descriptions!!
Eileen
I'd never give that a try
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteZQ
They really keep us baffled with those daring acts. The husband-wife duo was an interesting one...Liked the way, the tale was told!
