Rejuvenate from the black
By Ella R

Black trees filled with bumble-bees,
Trees aren’t really at ease.
Fire the messiah
Burning bushes away from Jeremiah.
But rejuvenation in this situation,
Is the start of a new generation.
The plants growing back as green as a green screen
Help has been very much seen.
Trees climb up the ladder of growth
They have sworn an oath of good growth.
Trees still standing like WWII trenches
Let’s help by putting in some defences.
Trees reach for the sky
Don’t worry they haven’t died.
“Crack!” I step on a stick
Black they are but, “click!” Goes another stick.
The misty smell
The smoke says farewell.
Ash, ash, ash everywhere
But rejuvenation is in the air!
