Steven Lee Siegel Poet Haiku

The Sky Is On Fire

The sky's on fire
time to run is now too late
 to pray now-- time's up.

The sky has turned black
run for your life now, fireman
too late for you now.

the sky has turned red
fire is over the top
of the trees now, run.

David Smith July 16, 2021 at 3:16 PM Excellent example of how a poem does not have to be long to have impact. You have highlighted the power of nature. Too many treat it like a fireworks display. Hope you stay around on the soup for a while. Thanks for sharing David in NZ
