Wow. This is a really great little poem - so much is said in so few words, a whole story in fact. The 5-7-5 form worked beautifully for this, and I'm not at all surprised it won. Congrats!

Comment from Debbie Noland
Thoreau said he could hear trees cry out when they were cut, and this picture of the trees burned alive leads me to imagine a chorus of grief. Effective, symbolic color presentation with the red on black.

I love 5-7-5 poems that can say so much in just a few select words. Tree-hugger - I guess you can imagine the flames of the fire wrapping around the trunks of the trees and it sweeps through the forest.

Comment from Amy Greta
Wow! You conveyed so much emotion and imagery in just 3 lines! I lost my son, and even though it's been 7 years, it IS the longest lasting fire, I reached up to Heaven like I never had before and felt exactly like the picture above your poem; desolate. I can completely relate to your sensational haiku.

Congratulations! I love it and the picture that goes with it. It's asking for another re-birth as in pleading branches. What's left are ashes. One day, the sun, rain and wind will bring it back to life. I love your poetry.

The havoc of a few words is certainly depicted in your image. Your thesis, however short, is certainly evident. The red letters heighten the expressive nature of the write.
Well done.

Comment from donalola
Beautifully done! I like very much your author notes. They give the poem a personality. It was quite clear in your haiku that the fire was devastating, but it is nice to know where.
Thanks for sharing it!
