The Firepits

In the suburbs
The firepits
Are lite to burn
Whatever it it is-
To burned stinks


With the thick scent
The air is thick 
Making it hard to breathe
Firepits do not belong 
In the suburbs

No firepits in Malta. Rarely you find a fireplace with chimney. I prefer gas heaters. Take care. ~~
