Exceptional Summer in the Australian bush Precious Gems: An Anthology : Masterpiece by Gypsymooncat Winter's cold now a forgotten memory

The strangled air has thickened Rising up in pulsing streams Swirling stifling, arid winds  Smother all in silent screams Man-made cooling breathes within Allowing dwellers slight reprieve Thoughts of frosted rooves of tin Melt away like skulking thieves Grass once softly green and whole  Shrivelled up to bed of  straw  Harshly dry beneath our soles In show of brittle, inner core Rolling hills in wheaten beige Uncoiled, undulating browns Hiss beneath the steaming rage Of solar blades stabbing down Flaming forests, ashen art Frame the land in reddened fire Nature's scorching soul and heart Displayed in works of burning ire Recognized Earned A Seal Of Quality © Copyright 2024.
