Excellence Award in the 'Just Keep Writing 2019' competition

I have lived where it is hot
with the sun so bright,
with flowers so pretty, so lovely.
I have lived in a place with a beach
with water so cool,
with jellyfish that sting.
My home Cairo.

I now live where there are dusty fields
with rusty trees
so brown like chocolate.
I now live in a place where water
is so low,
because we are in a drought.
My home Wagga Wagga.
