Yes we have a lot of fires here in Colorado that is caused by arson. the people that cause these fires should get more jail time than what they do. this was a well wrote poem that came from your heart and soul.

I couldn't help but respond to this tragedy inspired poem. As short as this poem is....it says it all! We too, live in the area around the Humbolt and other numerous fires that are still going on. It is another smoke filled day, and so unrelenting. A few of our friends and neighbors have been helping to fight them. God Bless them all. How could anyone be so heartless to do this purposely? It's nice, Michael, to know you are a neighbor! God Bless, ..I'm praying for clear skies. Carrie
