Some years ago, when I thought about starting a poetry site, I prayed about it. "Lord," I said, "I'm about to write a poem, and if you want me to go ahead with this poetry site idea, make it a really good one." I started writing, and in a short time, "Creatures of the Fire" was done. I looked at it and just knew I had the go ahead from God. Technically, it's the best poem I've ever written, with its internal rhyme and metaphors. I loved it then, and it's still my favorite.
