Stark Small spark. Flames ignite. Fire now burns bright. Smoke choking the air. Breeze fans blaze, everywhere. Soaring temperatures pall. Crackling as branches snap and fall. Animals whimper, they watch it grow. Smoke billows, acrid smell, this inferno. Blinding smoke, darkened sky, see it billow. Crimson hot flames reach skyward, they glow. Conditions, make it hard to breathe. Blazing trees will wilt and seethe. Moving flames on the run. They’re blocking the sun. Fear on the road All hopes slowed. Tears flow. Woe.

Intense and deeply moving imagery, truly soul hitting and very well crafted for the theme. It touched my soul how you’ve described blazing trees wilt and seethe, etc: kind of made me think of the recent wildfires in Hawaii, horrendous! I felt this and its like you’ve shown us the fear and woes in flawless flow, sticking to syllables! In a very descriptive manner! Congratulations on winning
