What a fire! We have them here every year! It is already hot here and we are in for a bad one this year I am afraid. You piece is short and to the point. I might add a little history or a little more about the people just to give it flavor. It is informative but it also needs to have reader inner interest. Has their been fires there before? Were the people prepared or did it come as a total surprise? Etc.

Hi GBR - Congratulations - a great 5/7/5 and a great piece of writing. I can see why you won. I absolutely love line 2 - 'Pleading Branches to Heaven' - a great personification of branches and an inspirational piece of writing. Good alliteration in line one and whole superb. Warm regards Dorothy x

The artwork you choose to go with your poem is a perfect match. This is what I call a food for thought poem.... meaning after you read it you go mm.
Thank you for sharing.

A very powerful haiku, no wonder it won. Amazing visuals. I especially liked the message in the last line. Excellent picture to go with it

Congratulations on your win.

Wow, in three lines you have created an the devastation of forest fire on the trees who pleaded for relieve but ended up being consumed. Congratulations for winning.

Congrats firstly on your win, and also for being able to put so much emotion into this 5 - 7 - 5 Haiku. Very dramatic photo of this burnt out forest. Love the line - Pleading branches to heaven - winner.
