flames rage the war while
embers do reconnaissance
for the next attack.

Author’s Note: An ember attack is a naturally occurring event. During a bushfire, burning parts of trees such as twigs, branches or leaves become temporarily airborne and can be carried away upwind of the bushfire. An ’ember attack’ occurs when many embers are carried by winds in a cluster

Interesting haiku. Very difficult to control a forest fire when the winds are high. Didn’t know it was called an ’ember attack’. ❤

Thank you! Ember attack is a massive issue here in Australia…often the reason for many catastrophic losses during bushfire season.
