Excellent Never been this bad before Australia on Fire by Aussie Share A Story In A Poem contest entry

Her throaty roar promises more People run for their lives Gather some items, this is war Mother Nature, temperatures soar Brazier-like flames jump tree to tree Razing homesteads to ashes Lively-hood lost, fire for all to see Everything in its path clashes Animals die where they stand Horses, cattle and sheep blown apart Taken their dogs and cats from their land Farmers panic, drive, stop then start Planes overhead dropping water fast Even faster she grows balls of flame Can't contain this fire, furnace blast Catastrophic fires taken hold, end game Recognized Author Notes Contest entry: Australia is burning! From New South Wales to Queensland is on fire. Men are being brought in from other states and even New Zealand to relieve our men who have been spending twelve-hour days fighting fires. One hundred plus fires are out of control and heading for the coastal strip. Temperatures are 105 F constantly in some areas. Unknown to us this weather pattern doesn't seem to want to end. Throw out the record books because never has this been so bad. Pray for rain please. Thanks for reading.
