Three Haiku Poems - Wildfires

so much energy
flames approach with a strong force
resisting nothing

fire burning brightly
quick flash as the flames leapt high
speeding fast as sound

trees add oxygen
making the flames leap higher
without fuel it’s out

Haiku – is a unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. 
It is created by a vision, it paints a mental image in the reader’s mind.

Senryu - consists of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all.is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions. They possess no references to the natural world and thus stand out from nature/seasonal haiku

  1. Wildfires make me sad. I hate the loss of habitat and worry the wild things suffer in the fire. You have captured the energy of the flames well here.

  2. You have captured beautiful images from an otherwise sad event- wildfires!
    The first haiku is brilliant ☺
