Wildfire (revised)


The leafy hues have wasted away.
Now only the ashes remain to play.

Hate-filled flames, conceived of greed,
consumed the proud giant and her unborn seed.

Even the elders, gnarled with age,
their wisdom displaced by insatiable rage.

The forsaken folk: Elm, Oak, and Pine,
All burned away, by fire so fine.

Orchards filled with succulent fruit,
torn down by a fiery brute.

Not enough laughter; Too many remains.
All because
of a few forgotten flames.

Fire hates all;
And gives only grief.
