Summer in the Australian bush
A chapter in the book Precious Gems: An Anthology
Masterpiece
by Gypsymooncat
Winter's cold now a forgotten memory
The strangled air has thickened Rising up in pulsing streams Swirling stifling, arid winds Smother all in silent screams Man-made cooling breathes within Allowing dwellers slight reprieve Thoughts of frosted rooves of tin Melt away like skulking thieves Grass once softly green and whole Shrivelled up to bed of straw Harshly dry beneath our soles In show of brittle, inner core Rolling hills in wheaten beige Uncoiled, undulating browns Hiss beneath the steaming rage Of solar blades stabbing down Flaming forests, ashen art Frame the land in reddened fire Nature's scorching soul and heart Displayed in works of burning ire |
