We Pray for Australia

We Pray for Australia

Burning inferno, devastation, absolute obliteration.. almost half a billion animals perished in the bushes betwixt the blazing fire and brimstone rushes.. Seeking sanctuary on the seaside without hearth and home, firefighters fighting flames with water and foam.. from the month of September with an unusual warm, dry Spring, wildfires have raged ravashing everything..

Strong southerly stormy gales gusting up to eighty miles per hour spreading, sweeping, cremating, annihilating all within it’s power..six million hectares(23,000 square miles) that’s twice the size of Wales in the British Isles..an unbelievable demon in disguise fierce and unfathomable, the Grim reaper’s demise.. from far away we watch in dismay, totally lost for words of what we can say, but record-breaking temperatures and months of severe drought is completely causing mayhem and wiping Australia out.. if only this destructive natural disaster could have been prevented from a scientist forecaster

Sadness and sorrow, meloncholy mourn.. for Australias loss and current forlorn..seasons of heavy heartedness as the flame and smoke wraths on, wishing and willing with all our worth for it all to be gone, whilst we  can only hope and pray to put an end to Australias pain, Mother Nature send saturation and let it team with rain..so the widespread red-hot torrid shall loose its lustered life ending agonising awareness and ceasing scorching strife..God bless the land down under we pray for their salvation.. redemption for Australia, our beautiful commonwealth nation

Exceptional wording Jill.

I'm always so impressed when I read one of your poems.

As a test, I didn't look at who wrote the poem, before I read it. I knew within a few lines you wrote it. I really enjoy reading your poetry.

I feel grateful that we live in an area that is not prone to forest fires. What has transpired in Australia is so devastating, many overlook the animals, the insects and family pets or on ranches. My heart goes out to the people and the country. We'll keep them in our hearts. 

Favorite Part

What makes your poetry so fantastic, is the attention paid to details, the word choices and overall tone of the poem. Well done Jill.
