My koala’s home

As I eat my eucalyptus leaves getting the savoury juices out  

I notice my tree starts to sway

In a motion making me feel almost sick

I look down and realise my tree is burning into a crisp

I try dodging the furious flames

I plead for help trapped

My body starts burning as if it’s lit a flame

It’s only been ten minutes yet it feels like hours

As I curl my body trying to keep cool

I hope for a saviour 

As I am short a few breaths

And eyes so dry I can barely see

A blurry shape forms

It’s some sort of human

They pick me up and run

I’m so comfy in her arms 

So I fall into a deep sleep

As I wake up I don’t see the blossoming trees or hear the birds chirping 

But instead a person mumbling to me 

I was SAVED!
