Los Angeles Lost in Wild Fires

Los  Angeles  a southern Californian basin

Perched amidst Santa Monica Mountain

And valleys of San Fernando and San Gabriel

Second most populus  third most visited city.

Alas now bearing the brunt of Nature’s fury

The city hosting Hollywood celebrities

Global iconic city of films and movies

Now in shambles with wild forest fires.

Home to a diverse array of plants and flowers

Enticing Bougainvillea the Pampas Grass

The Poppys the Oaks  and Palms so charming

Willows, wooden houses burnt to ashes.

What caused the massive Catastrophe?

 A Weather whiplash or Natures backlash.

Blowing winds across the Pacific Ocean

Spread the wild fire and caused ruination. 

The weather scientists face a challenge

Wet and dry extreme swings at large

The dry weather dry leaves dry foliage

The hints  of impending climate change?
