Writetober, Day 2 - Companion of Destruction
A Poem
Alright, here is day two! Once again, the prompt is not explicitly mentioned in the piece - you have to guess! If you get it before I reveal it at the end, please let me know - that way I can make future pieces either harder or easier! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am not the flame.
.
I am not the flame,
But I tell of it.
Flame devours all before it,
But what is consumed is carried by me
High into the sky above.
.
I do not consume,
But consume me, and beware.
My destruction comes in this way;
Breathing becomes, for you, unfeasible.
.
I am not the flame,
But the havoc I bring into the world
Can be far more nightmarish,
Spreading my indistinguishable reach
Further than the flame ever could.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you get it? It's smoke!
Hopefully, that one was easier to get. See you in the next story (or rather, riddle, hehe).

LOL! I didn't get it, but after the "aha" moment in the end when you revealed that it was SMOKE, I could have slapped myself. Well done!
