Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

whip

whip-poor-will sings
at daybreak....
tires burning scent     

someone keeps setting wood fires and putting car tires on them. I have called the forest rangers and they said there is nothing they can do about it. The smoke settles in the hollow on the creek just a few feet from my home and it makes me sick.

Yann Rolland April 30, 2024 at 8:31 AM i hate the tires burning scent, sufferings while reading your wonderful poem tahnks poet Sara Kendrick April 30, 2024 at 8:55 AM Yann, Yesterday and today there has been the scent of tires burning on the air with smoke settling in the creek rise.

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 26, 2024 at 7:39 AM Dear Sara, I am sorry you must put up with inconsiderate behavior and disrespect for nature and humans alike. Let's hope they get caught and the consequences are great enough that they will not continue to do it. Loved your Haiku for it says it all. - Blessings, Daniel Sara Kendrick April 26, 2024 at 12:09 PM The forest rangers said it was illegal to burn the tires and no one had called to say they wanted to do any burning, so he did not have any way of knowing where it is coming from. They don't watch for fires the old way but use a satellite to check for fires. Thanks for the visit and taking time to comment. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar April 26, 2024 at 1:07 AM A well-thought-out haiku. The smell of burned tyres is indeed atrocious. Sara Kendrick April 26, 2024 at 6:18 AM I like the word atrocious especially in this situation because that is exactly what it is. Thank you, Victor. Your visits are always uplifting. Sara K

Paula Goldsmith April 25, 2024 at 12:54 PM I enjoyed reading your "whip" write. So Sad... Looks like someone could do something about this. Maybe you need to make more phone calls... Good Luck getting some help.... Have a blessed day writing away................ Sara Kendrick April 25, 2024 at 2:45 PM Paula, the air cleared after a short time which is better than the times before in which it lingered for days. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Andrea Dietrich April 25, 2024 at 8:41 AM that's weird what they are doing, but you came up with a KU on it! Sara Kendrick April 25, 2024 at 11:47 AM Andrea, yes, I know that they probably need to burn the brush piles, but they could do it without putting tires on them. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
