Wildfire! Poem by Dorsey Baker

Wildfire! Wildfire!
don't take my house
don't take my land
don't take my family my life
wildfire!
wildfire!
rampaging
Wildfire!
Wildfire!
you are angry
and raging
Wildfire!
Wildfire!
you have gotten to far
out of hand
think I'm
going to get out
while I still can

Wildfire! please
turn around
or at least
just slow down
wildfire! you are
moving so fast
faster
than the wind can blow
leaving so much
destruction
everywhere you go!
