Quell the Quench of the Wildfire

A poem addressing the wildfire to cool off

Dying embers surcease your flames

Lone desolate land mourned for its own demise

Yet your hungry falcon eyes craved to rekindle

Respite, devouring wildfire, respite.

Sustained copse implored the nimbus for retribution

The ashes were sweltering and spitting the

rage of fumes with strong effluvium,

But your voracious rage scavenges the residue

Respite, annihilating wildfire, respite.

The nimbus clouds became

dejected, in lieu of the wretched woodlands

The cloud’s hopping madness divulged

through the incessant downpour.

Still your fervent rage scorns to succumb.

Respite, obstinate wildfire, respite

Quench your thirst to engulf

Spare the nature and subside.
