FIRST IDEASIgnited, begun by a spark, a tiny flame
Fanned by the breath of one then another
Spread wildly, viciously
Singeing, smarting its victims stinging
Victims engulfed by the pain
The devastated damaged burned

Words are spoken by a single voice; Work on titleA spark. Altered focusThe voice falls on narrow perception. Clouded
The spark is ignited becauseThe words are consumed by misunderstanding.Fanned by the breath of one,Fanned again by incessant rumblings;The spark grows to a flame.The tiny flame turns vile, violentWith wild whispers. Oxymoron
AlliterationThe raging fire fueled by the Chorus singing; singeing,Smarting, stinging its victim.The victim engulfed in pain, cries out. (Title: implied pun—”raising” a rumorMuffled by the incessant flame. And watching it grow as if it were a
child)
Tears dampen the flameThe victim, damaged, devastated; burned, razed.
Tormented,Now all are victims.

Tormented and extinguished,All die a little,Until the next voice turns spark.
