Haiku suite (fire) inspired by my December 14 visit to the burned-out ruins of the Ghost Ship Warehouse in Oakland, California. Those who read my previous poem "Ghost Ship" know that on December 2, a fire killed thirty-six people during a concert. I composed my haiku suite from impressions of things I smelled, saw, and felt when I visited the memorial outside of the ruins. I intend each haiku to stand alone and work together as a group.

-Every Tuesday, from now on, Gypsy will post a haiku challenge.
-When you post, make sure to mention HAIKU CLUB CHALLENGE at the top .
