ice demon is the result of trying to flip fire angel which i have included again here. it was an earlier poem from my blog.

ICE DEMON

I am the ice demon

freezing those who avoid my touch

I freeze only those full of love

I am the ice demon

goodbye lepricorn my heart was yours

your heart i have frozen

freed from a trap

on the sun filled afternoon

of a cheery friday 13th

the lepricorn i shall miss.

FIRE ANGEL

I am the fire angel

I will burn any who touch me

I only touch those full of malice

I am the fire angel

Hello hobgoblin my next lost soul

You are my next touch

I am the fire angel

A trap I have set on full moon night

Of Friday 13th

The hobgoblin I shall burn

  1. Reading through these two, even though you flipped the words, the intent and atmosphere felt similar, but going through again, line by line, differences begin to emerge. I very much enjoyed what you wrote for the challenge!

  2. This is brilliantly accomplished! I love the contrast; “goodbye lepricorn my heart was yours your heart i have frozen/Hello hobgoblin my next lost soul You are my next touch.”💝💝
