6. Lets Read the Poem!!! Someone dropped a burning match
unheeded by the way, It caught on fire some underbrush; Its user
did not stay.
7. Unheeded: Carelessly Underbrush: brushes and plants that
grow close together under trees.
8. From grass to brush, From brush to tree, So stealthily it
ran, That no one ever guessed or knew Just where that fire
began
9. Stealthily: Quietly and secretly.
10. Someone put a campfire And failed to put it out. A breeze
came and quickened; The embers spread about.
11. Campfire : an outdoor fire made by people Quickened :
become faster or quicker Embers : red hot pieces of wood or
coal
12. And soon the wood were blazing, The fire spread and spread,
The trees that took long years to grow, Stand blackened now and
dead.
13. Someone saw a little fire As he was passing by. He did not
stop to put it out ; He did not even try.
14. 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.
15. 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.
