This was a very well written poem my friend. You not only explain a terrible experienced caused by fire, you describe well your emotions such as the fear, but also serve as an awareness for people out there triggering fires. Good flow and rhyming scheme.

Good poem reminded me of some wood in a Skip bin at 1am in the morning here one night in a Summer night. My wife was turning over in bed and saw the flames and woke me up.Some nut threw an incendiary light in there and they caught alight. the people were asleep in their bed and this thing was going full o at the window. We rang the fireys they came and knocked on the people's door but the slept on. The fire was put out luckily.

Fires can be very devastating, to say the least. The fair fires really great especially a forest fire with skin moon and devastate the landscape in the houses within minutes. You massively betrayed hellfire can destroy so easily just knowing of it coming, the smell can bring so much fear in your heart. The poem was written very well I enjoyed it writing couplets in the rhythm was done so well made it easy to read your poem. The context and content is strong. And he was enough to almost see the fire and fields burning.
Thank you for sharing this with your friends and other readers. You have a good woman God bless.

Wow! That is am impressive sight, great photograph. Hope that fire was contained. Your fears were well founded Your verse describes the drama and concerns very well in aabb rhymed quatrains. The tempo was a bit undisciplined as it switched between 10 and 9 syllable count. You would be well served to add 1 syllable to those missing one. An "a"' "the", "it" or "as" here or there would do it.

Thanks for a generous review and comments. I appreciate your feedback. That same finger that misses occassional letters must also have missed the syllable count.lol. Thanks for pointing it out-I'll fix it.
