fires
Myrtle Barber Carpenter

8. Lets Read the Poem…!!!
Someone dropped a burning match
unheeded by the way,
It caught on fire some underbrush;
Its user did not stay.

9. Unheeded:
Carelessly
Underbrush:
brushes and
plants that grow
close together
under trees.

10. From grass to brush,
From brush to tree,
So stealthily it ran,
That no one ever guessed
or knew
Just where that fire began

11. Stealthily: Quietly
and secretly.

12. Someone put a campfire
And failed to put it out.
A breeze came and
quickened;
The embers spread
about.

13. Campfire : an outdoor fire
made by people
Quickened : become faster or
quicker
Embers : red hot pieces of
wood or coal

14. And soon the wood were blazing,
The fire spread and spread,
The trees that took long years to
grow,
Stand blackened now and dead.

16. Someone saw a little fire
As he was passing by.
He did not stop to put it out ;
He did not even try.

17. He had not started it,
of course he has no time
to spare,
That it might start a forest
fire,
He did not even care.

19. What do you think the
poet wants to say in this
poem?
 Most of the fires are caused due to
carelessness.
 Most of the fires are caused by
thieves and robbers.
 Most of the fires are caused by the
heat of the sun.
