Prompts: February 2012: Fire and Ice
Here are February's prompts, courtesy of
nagaina_ryuuoh!
And as, you'll see, they have a lovely theme:
February 1: The Earth is frozen solid, like a heart that will not love
February 2: My love a beacon in the night
February 3: O, for a muse of fire!
February 4: A candle burned on the table
February 5: Snowflakes are kisses from heaven
February 6: As seek to quench the fire of love with words
February 7: ...Some say in ice
February 8: Words are only painted fire
February 9: Only ice in the blood
February 10: Fire is never a gentle master
February 11: In the ice of its own indifference
February 12: Some say the world will end in fire
February 13: Love is the fire of life -- consuming, purifying.
February 14: Love is a friendship caught on fire.
February 15: All things, oh priests, are on fire...
February 16: Thou art all ice -- thy kindness freezes
February 17: It is not light we need, but fire
February 18: When walking on thin ice, you may as well dance
February 19: Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light
February 20: Like fragile ice, anger passes away in time
February 21: In our youth our hearts were touched with fire
February 22: You are ice and the fire of your touch burns my hands like
snow
February 23: Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool
February 24: Cruel as winter and cold as the snow
February 25: My candle burns at both ends
February 26: So comes snow after fire
February 27: Do not shine. Do not seek to shine. Burn.
February 28: Teach me to forget myself, as melted snow forgets its life
February 29: ...To usher in the spring
