Hello author your 5-7-5 poem about how tees n a forest feel put a very vivid picture in my mind.
which to me makes a very concrete haiku.

And we think it's rough when a few thousand acres get scorched. At 640 acres per square mile-that's a big fire. Burned over woodlands are truly sad. A fine
scorched stump hugger five/seven/five.

Did you make the photo of the woods yourself? It complements your poem very well. Dot on syllable count, and a wood that had fire looks desolate. Best wishes for the prompt.

G'day mate. Great work. It is so sad and tragic when this happens, Australia cops it every year, it's horrid. This is a really good entry into this contest and I wish you luck. Cheers Fez

Author: powerful 5/7/5 looking at the remains of a horrific fire. The picture and the colors you used are perfect enhancements of your words. Good contest contender. livelylinda

Along with having the worst economy in Europe, this couldn't have helped their already severe austerity government. Your poem ignites passion for this situation.

These short lines mirror the desolation of the artwork. Good personification in the second line. It words evoke the loss that is described in the notes. How horrible.

Keep writing

This is about a fire that burnt down a forest to its skeleton. It must be painstaking sticking to the 5-7-5 syllable count, but the message is even vivid enough in the photo illustration.

It was nice reading it. I wish you the best in the contest.

Brabazon.
