Comment from Wendy G
Yes, to me the horror of fires is that so many millions of vulnerabkle birds and animals suffer very painful deaths - or otherwsie starve to death because heir habitat has been destroyed. Well said.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
It speaks of the tragedy that often is not thought about when a fire rages through the woods. You do an excellent job of bringing reality home to us. Great job thanks for an excellent job of writing a relevant haiku.

I worry about the animals when I see the wild fires on the news. Your words give a voice to the animals that suffer and die in these fires. Excellent nature haiku that creates feelings and emotions.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Yes, we must say a prayer for the critters who die screaming while wildfires burn. Animals matter, too.
Without the creatures who live in forests, we wouldn't be alive today. I, for one, love nature's finest when it comes to trees and creatures who live harmoniously together without the worry of wildfires on their minds.
Let's care for and save the woods and all who live there.

This was a great 4-6-5 haiku! It was very upsetting, but you got your point across. I like that you used the word "critters." Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This the worst part of forest fires as the animals cannot escape and die in the flames, a shocking and terrifying death for them. A powerful and sad post, love Dolly x x x

The fires in the forest around are very devastating to the wildlife. That is one of the reasons that mankind should be taken care of the forest. They should clean out the brush underneath and keep things in order so that they don't catch fire so quickly. Patricia.

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Kahpot,
This is a very bone chilling Haiku. You say, "While critter scream." That is so sad, but forest fires do kill lots of animals. The fires that make me mad are the ones set by man. They need to go to jail for a long time.
Well done
Cecilia

Comment from tempeste
When bushfires blaze, reports focus on the civilians involved and the firefighters and I understand that
I inevitably think about the wildfire that is dying.
In 2019 in Australia there were sadly 20 bushfires that killed close to 3 billion animals : mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs.
Reptiles hide under ground, and rodents in burrows but not all mammals are swift enough to flee to safety.
