Wild Hair for a Wild, Wild Girl
September 19, 2014
Her eyes were fire.
But her breath was ice.
She smiled as she
ran all over the world.
Her wild spirit too
much to be contained
in her wild fire eyes
and perpetual smile.
Her hair was just as wild
as her spirit.
It danced as she laughed
and ignited a contagious fire
in the ones she loved.
But she had a wild fire spirit
and breath as cool as ice.
It was only right
that she was given wild hair
for a wild, wild girl.

Ohh, repetition! I love repetition. Great job on conveying such a marvelous sense of freedom in your poem. I got the image of dancing under the moonlight in an open meadow. This poem seems joyful but at the same time... kind of wistful too? It's hard to describe. I love it. Just a minor critique: "Her wild spirit too much to be contained in her wild fire eyes and perpetual smile." This seems like an incomplete sentence / sentence fragment. Other than that, great job -- the descriptions you used here are astounding.
