Short Spider Orchid
By Anna S
Smoke filled the empty sky
Birds flutter, birds fly
The tiny flower rises
Plum purple, verdant green
Like we’d never seen
Crash!
Boom!
Snap!
Flames formed
Sparks swarmed
The crimson wall nears
Washing it with fear
The forest crumbles underneath
The baked land falling beneath
The trees that once stood tall
Now consumed by the crimson wall
The clouds swept away
The sky left chalky grey
The forest devoured
Overpowered.
