The Night The Fire Came

Onwards it crawled
Through the dry grass
Even further it sprawled
Lighting up the night
Smoke billowed up into the sky
As the flames sparked
everything that was dry
Sneaking under doors
and through window cracks
it came indoors
The firefighter struggled to stop the blaze
As it engulfed the house
On the night
When the fire came
