Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

As smoke billows up from the quiet forest
Raising the alarm of the fury below
Fire starts leaping up above the canopy
Like fireworks illuminating the twilight heavens
Violently consuming the dry timber
Dancing furiously through the jungle
Mocking the firefighters below
And cackling with laughter as they fail
Viciously devouring everything in sight
