Wildfires

Santa Ana winds august temperatures climb rampaging wildfires Rampaging wildfires crackling through brittle pines nature's cleansing rush Nature's cleansing rush acres of barren parched earth sadness in the wake. written May 24, 2021

This makes me think you live in California, I had never thought this before.

Introducing the Milton Haiku... a clever form. Terry

Well, thank you, Terry. It just made sense for me to tell the story this way.

I like the way you kept this one going. A long time ago a sponsor made us do something like this. I forget the term he used for it, but somewhere among my haiku I know I have one like this. Awesome!

Hi Andrea. I didn't know it had a special name. I thought I was just writing a continuing haiku that told more of the story. Thanks for the compliment and the read.
