Ashes of the Eucalyptus: A Koala's Plight

Padded paws, clawing at the trees.

Soft furry hairs, blowing in the breeze.

Sharp teeth nibbling on eucalyptus leaves,

Oblivious to the fires that are sweeping the trees.

Blazing flames erupt around these furry marsupials.

Burning ash floats up, like confetti in the sky,

Bringing their world crashing down.

Broken branches scatter on the ground of this pigsty.
