Wildfire, fueled by strong winds, races across wide stretch of Moffat ...

The fire spreads quickly Nothing can stand in its way Firemen are coming

I lived for 16 years in Montana. It is astounding how fast a wildfire can move across prairie or mountain. I have the ultimate respect for the smoke jumpers who risk life and limb to save anything possible. A marvelous Haiku my friend. I have to save this one as a favorite.

I respect anyone that is willing to risk their life to help others or save lives and those unable to help themselves. Thanks for the comments and the FAV, my friend. Do you still live in Montana? Have a great week. Bill

Hope all is well my friend. This powerful Senryu I'm sure will bring horryfing memories back for some. We have been warned of devastating storms and fires in some of our provinces, including ours - please God no lives are lost. Hugs and blessings Jennifer r

Good gracious, Bill, everything o.k? We have these wildfires in Western NC too. In Gatlinburg, Tennessee they have to close Dollywood sometimes because of wildfires. Great senryu writing. Yuletide blessings to you & Sara. ~

I've been fortunate Tom, never been very close to one. They can destroy the forest very quickly. Thanks for the comment, my friend. Bill

Is this a real event or did the photo inspire you? A poet will find inspiration in so many things..

Not where we live, but where family lives, the wildfires have got close to their houses. Everyone is fine now. Thanks for asking my friend. Have a great week. Bill
