You said a handful in the poetry Jacob. I saw the wildfires in Big Sur. It is a miracle. The green came back quickly. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I like this write because it tells a story only those involved would know but it's the rest that don't know they will pay the price.
Thank you for sharing

Wild fires are such a shame.
They destroy everything in their path...
I suppose, just like some people..
Well said. Nicely done.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and people start them...Nature falls...and then they come back on us.
Thank you so much for these words, Light,

Fires don't respect border lines, that's for sure. They are like ravenous beasts, and they don't care whether the fuel is Canadian or American.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, they just don't care...thank you, John,

Definitely crossing borderlines south...we are getting it now down here in Texas. Smoke from the northern border and immigrants from the southern. Sad to say but, both are making it difficult to breathe freely.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is quite sad, will,

Excellent work - really puts things in perspective these natural disasters - as if there weren't enough to deal with as it is.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this one got some help...
thank you, red,

Fire is a living thing ... it breathes ... it whispers ... it roars and it consumes.
Although this is a large fire and is producing a lot of smoke it is far from the deadliest fire in our country.

The Matheson fire of 1916 killed 223 while the Great Haileybury fire of 1922 killed 43. Both as a result of dry conditions and wind.

I like this one j. So few words tell a major story. Well done.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you....yes other fires worse, some not as...but geez, people have to be careful
thanks, Ted,

Timely, I have heard or the fires in Canada. A great Haiku with meaning and believe me I fear few things but fire is one that I make an exception for.
