I had trouble coming up with something for the prompt 'intense.' Guess I was feeling more lacksidasical. I started toying with it first, word-play:
Intense/ In tents/ In tenths/ In tent city
But I think I have finally come up with a rather intense little poem:
Ember eyes burning
Bitter hands clenching
Screaming:
So close
I smell tunafishsandwich
From lunch
Screaming:
So loud
I can’t hear a word
Screaming:
Uncontrollably
The words pour out
I can’t stop
