All because one

Smoke covers the sky in a thick blanket

as reds burn in my mind

Fire bores into the forest

One destroys thousands.

A blazed trees, running animals

Spraying water calms the wild fire

It vanishes with a dissapearing act

Disaster lies a path to broken hearts and bodies

because of one match

such stark truth in this poem - your writing vividly depicts the devestation....well done.

[Daniel Thomas Andrew Da..]

An excellent example of the power 'ONE' soul can do. In this instance, in destruction. Each line sets the drama for the concluding moral lesson in the last line. Excellent.

Another great poem about the incredible good advice: Do not play with matches, hopefully more people are listening to it, after the terrible fires in Northern California.
Great poem, wonderful message!!
