This is a good entry for the essence poem contest with effective internal and end rhymes. I have never seen a fire ravage the land up close - only the smoke fires from an aerial view. The fires happen in the country I live in every summer and the damage is tremendously sad.

Excellent entry for the Essence poem contest. Good form composition.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck

Fires are a very horrible scenario. On the news this morning, was a fire in a nearby town. I think the person or persons were safe though. When it gets dry, we do worry about fires. Your poem is definitely telling the truth.

This was right to the point and honestly it's what's happening and the fires can be literal or a metaphor but in essence it's a flight thing. Very nice and well enjoyed.

It met the requirements and it was easy to understand the topic. I do think there could have been more visual words used to better express the topic.

A successful essence poem this is. We are pulled into the heat, so to speak, and are evacuated immediately. I like how you constructed this. Good luck in the contest.

This is a scary write as fire destroys ever-thing as it is complete indiscriminate, wildlife and human life, homes and plants and trees are all charred in its path, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Yes and so very real is it not?. The subject close to my heart as this was the main topic of my pod casts that I did last year. I'm now moving up to floods as a result of fires. Very eye catching piece of poetry along with a very stunning and moving picture.
I see no issues with your writing grammatically speaking and I find it aesthetically pleasing as well.
Wish you all the best in the contest. It's an amazing piece of work and I wish you best of luck have a great evening!
