Summary: In response to Robert Frost's 'Fire and Ice', which we have been reading in the Poetry Seminar.




That jealousy is born of love
I doubt.
But what if we should love so much
that selfish greed drives passion out
and love is known no more?
When hate is washed up on the shore,
the debris from a world without
a heart,
and at its core,
the flames are out.
