Question

Summary of the poem "forest fires" by Myrtle Barber Carpenter

Answer 1

The Poem, “Forest Fire” talks about human carelessness and how it causes the nature so much devastation.

It talks about how the fire might have started from as little as a small burning match stick that might have been thrown by a camper, and how it must have been overlooked by people passing by.

And the devastation is just unparalleled, resulting in a beautiful forest that must have taken a lifetime to grow, turn to dust in an instant.
