smoke scorches her skies
flames engulfed her soul and life
the maui wildfire

Connie, you silly goose. Your haiku doesn't mention a color per contest rules. Guess what? NA. See, I told you (read). Ha, ha. You'll never be a swan.

Connie, your lines give nature the spark that brought smoke and ash to the beautiful island.

Anne-Lise, thank you for your sentiments, concerns. I live on Oahu, which is approximately 115 miles from Maui. On the day of the Maui wildfire, it was very windy here, hazy, and the mood was somber. Life is pretty much normal here, now, but I hear that Lahaina is still rebuilding.
