Fire fire

Burning bright

Scaring all those in sight

The furious fire fled fast

Tearing down everything within its path

It was a hot october spring day

The wind whispered and wrestled with the leaves

On the trees

All the kids were at school

The adults at work

The smoke rose quickly from the east

Helicopters came from the west

Darkness flooded the land rapidly

The sky was full with smoke

Filling up everyone's lungs

Enabling people to breathe and see

Eyelids become heavy and sore

They stung and ached

Lungs got tight and full

Noses got itchy

Schools were closed down

Houses evacuated

They all contained fright

waiting for the night

That they can fly their kite

And play princess and the knight

It was the mountains biggest fear

A gigantic fire

Roaming the streets of springwood

The kids and adults

All asking one question

When will this end?
