The koala

Green, lush leaves,
Dancing in the breeze,
Smoke wafted through the air.
Ash covered my silver fur.
A flame erupted in the distance,
Slowly creeping towards my tree
I jumped out of my tree.
Landing on the soft grass,
Which was soon going to crumble to ashes.
A red, F L A S H I N G light,
A long hose,
A squirt of water.
The fire died down.
I looked up
At the sky, painted in all the colours of the rainbow.
Wishing I could see it from my tree.
My home was gone.
Forever.
