Beatuifully written but sad to read the demise of the landscape. It is wonderful free verse. You are a gifted poet. It is good to see you posting something because we've missing you lately.

This is a powerful free-verse full of destructive remains after a fire in the forest Lea. Your descriptions are chilling and damning with no hope of survival. Good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

An excellent entry for the Free Verse Poetry contest. There are some wonderful descriptive phrases here. Skeletal arms, crooked fingers, orange peel Earth. Very visual in the readers mind. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

You give a visceral description of the land after it's ravaged by fire. There are just a plethora of fantastic descriptors: Pierce, bony limbs, scratching aching etc. This poem leaves the reader with no hope after the event.

Shrinking roots begs the soil (roots beg)
I'm assuming you intentionally chose not to use hyphens and apostrophes as an artistic decision.

Beautifully crafted!
Julie
