'Fire, Fire, how 'wild' and 'bright'.

Destroying the 'Nature', killing the 'Creature',

'Howled' my Men, every single day and night.

As for them, it's a matter of 'plight',

'Annihilating' the dreams of the 'richest' of 'rich' socialites.

'Crushing' the possibilities of 'Mother Nature', and its 'strides'.

'Fire, Fire, how 'wild' and 'bright',

Alas! because of you both 'Flora' and 'Fauna' cried.

This takes me back to reading Robert Frost's opinions on fire in his poen Fire and Ice. Fire destroys everything in its path, but rebirth is so evergreen. It is a symbol of purity burning all things needed in its path, but sometimes it can destroy everything. It is one of the most powerful and potent elements this earth has to offer. The ending line brings a web of emotion to a nature inspired poem. A great added ending.

Nice poem written by the writer.

"'Fire, Fire, how 'wild' and 'bright'.
Destroying the 'Nature', killing the 'Creature',
'Howled' my Men, every single day and night."
This poem reminds me of that poem "Tiger, Tiger, burning bright."
Well, from what I can understand, the writer is highlighting the importance of nature throughout the poem. He also wants to tell how the rise of forest fires is affecting the poor animals. Humans are not paying attention to the changing climate, we are unable to understand that by doing all this we are leading ourselves to our own end.

It is just my perspective but, the poem could have been a bit longer, because this piece seems too short to be called as a poem. Also, you could have worked a bit more on your rhyme scheme.

But as I observed this is your first poem on the site so, nice try.
Keep it up.
Waiting for more.
Thank you.

Thank you for your review.



Forget ragebaiting. What about happybaiting. Purposely mentioning things that my friends like to make them happy and joyous. What about that, huh
