I guess that a fire such as this or any fire of any size that you're in would take your breath away. It does seem like everything that's in the path of it succumbs to its destructive will. I like this and the message conveyed in it. Great job and well done!

And I'm sure praying that we do not see that this year - as we did last year - everywhere - esp. in N. Califronia where a whole town burned up. Here in the Northwest we see many fires - some years worse than usual.
Earth succombed last year.
Nice poem

The artwork you choose goes perfectly with your poem
You captured my attention from the first line to the last. Some how I can relate to your word. It like I feel since my Great-grand son was kill Labor day during an argument The rage from the other person released fire from his mouth extinguishing the life from my beloved Great- grandson, I nicked name BB.
Thank you for sharing.

The forest burning image is a great contrast to your few words. The question is: Can humans solve the problem? Environment or the Amazon forest is a current example.

Good luck in the voting in this nature contest.

Without the trees, we don't get as much breathable air. Burning trees makes me want to cringe. To see part of our lifeforce crumbling away.

I think your short verse paints a very vivid picture.
Burning trees do extinguish life, it's true, but in some ways it revitalizes and renews.
Good luck to you with the competition.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this dramatically
descriptive poem--so relevant for areas where wildfires eat up forests, homes, and lives.
