This works well as a haiku you express a lot about fire in just seventeen syllables. You begin with a general alert - it's dangerous! And then show exactly the extent of the danger and the POWER of this element. But you have a striking metaphor embedded in lines 2 & 3, that is, fire destroys things because it's hungry - that opens up the poem to a different point of view which can't be developed in a haiku format. You might want to write a lyric poem about Fire's inevitable but destructive hunger, like many worldly forces and things, it can't help itself.
