Your poem is heartbreaking. The suffering animals hit hard. I could really feel the weight of the moment in just a few words. That last line is especially sad. You shared so much emotion in such a small space - really well done!

This 5-7-5, As Wildfires Burn, has the proper formatting and captures the devastation of the blazing timber as well as the helpless creatures devoured by the furnace.

Sad, but true. Fires kill more than just
trees. They kill our children's future. The animals harmed will decline in population. Children will see only photos of them on their devices.

That is a terrible haiku in regard to its subject matter. Of course, the writing is good, the haiku well done. Fire is a powerful force of destruction. Evi
