The bushfires are scary

As high as my tree

Making me stuck

While the others all

Flee

 

Firefighters come 

A bit too late

All of us gone 

Except for me

As darkness falls

They rescue me

 

I’m all alone 

In a dark, cramped room

My paw hurts

It’s white like the moon

 

I get released 

Back to my home

But it’s different now

All black

And dry.
