Bushfire

3rd in the 'Calling All Poets 2007' competition

Licking at the formerly inhabited eucalypts
Then like a pirate being hunted by the Navy
The wall of flame dashes off at light speed
Rockets of water blast from the town
Colliding with the blaze to seemingly, no avail
"Don't give up - stand strong!"
The jets of water hit like Superman's punch
The flames rear back and screech at the town
Glaring, growling - gurgling, gasping
Then all at once-shhhhhh!-all that remains is a smoky haze in a desolate wasteland.
