Inferno

the burning oak and cedar,  
           a fiery inferno,
torched the wooded neighborhood

Powerful use of this concise form. Sad reality sometimes. Good use of imagery. Karen

Nice Haiku. That is the way it has been with some of the wild fires in different places. It is really sad for the loss of lives, nature, and property. Sara
