Caren, this is awful and so sad. What about the people? How are they coping? Do they have a safe place to go? I hope the fire will die out quickly. have a nice day my fiend.

I hate the loss, I read an article the other day that says Koalas a now, "functionally extinct"; soon there may not be enough to recoup the species because of lack of eucalyptus trees and poaching. Sad. A heart-wrenching haiku, well done.

I read that too, but then they changed it to be a bit more optimistic.

So sad. You are all in my prayers, and the animals too. I saw they were dropping sweet potatoes and carrots to try and save the starving animals.

At last viewing of the horror story that unfolds, we are dropping tonnes of vegetable and fruit over the areas devasted by fire, so our native animals have food. We are thankful and grateful for the kind and generous assistance from other countries, with special note to American firefighters, who stand with us in our country at present. This could be happening in America or other areas of our world. Surely this is the negative result of Climate Change. Your poem indicates we are united as humanity, hopefully in these times. Thank you Krutsinger. L .

It is very sad, and the casualties have been enormous - it is kind of apocalyptic because weird things are happening all over the world. Great write Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
