Watercolor texture 3

My name is Ellie and my poem is called Ash. I came up with this idea by looking at the empty fireplace in my living room and thinking about how beautiful ash is. To me, Ash symbolises new life by showing how beauty can come out of things like fire.&nbsp;

Misc texture 1

Burnt pieces rise. up up up. Heavy, not falling, trailing up up up. Soaring up the chimney toppling up up up. Touch the sky, Cool it down, Soaring down down down. Seared pieces of fire Spiraling round and round and down. Night falls with the ash&nbsp; tumbling down down down.&nbsp;

If someone asked me for poetry advice, I would tell them to pick an idea that is meaningful to them and start by just writing about their feelings and opinions freely before going through to add and revise. Express yourself through poetry and have fun with it.
