2020
Excellence Award in the 'The Inside Story 2020' competition
Tongues of flame flickering high
Glowing red across the sky
Devastating view I see
Night falls, the bush fire moon
Pierces through the smoke and gloom
Heat, blackness, ash around me
Fire swept through and destroyed
Leaving all the land devoid
Of greenness, sad place to be
