Comment from Nottoway
A very accurate account of the total destructive/conquering power of fire. Whether a building or the expanse of nature, it takes such a toll on everything.

Thank you for your review.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
When there are fires out West, the flames and smoke tower over the buildings into the sky. It rises into the atmosphere until it reaches the clouds and the moon in the sky.

Sorry .. I was checking your portfolio .. I will keep an eye out when the contest hits the booth and see for myself.
Climate change has hit us hard : fires , floods , cyclones .. not to mention also earthquakes and volcanoes erupting ..
When I wake up in the morning, I?m scared what new disaster I ll hear on the news
Where have those carefree days gone??
Keep safe!

Comment from Earl Corp
One drawback to 5-7-5 poems is they don't always give you enough syllables to explain everything. After reading this I wondered where the fire was. I could have took it a couple of ways such as the poet is in Hell. Or it could have been at an innocent bonfire. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Great poem for the prompt. Creative use of the prompt-fire. It sounds like a fire has engulfed the view of the moon. I love the image of the moon "swam in a sea of smoke."
