Elemental ruin

(Haiku entry)

Flames of fury fly

in a raging, rampant roar

as fire flees its fate.

Water won't dare douse -

unless it's warped with whiskey,

wicked, wanton flames!

Suffocation seems

certain and soon. Seething sparks

smash a sacred earth.

Breathless. Battered. Burnt.

Air cooked - crackling, coarse and crisp

while lungs cry, bothered.
