The Fire

There was a fire ban that yearBut the carless campers left

Leaving smoldering remains behindThe fire that ate the forest

Wind whispered wordlessly in the treesThe fire was given new lifeLike a new small heartbeatThe fire that ate the forest

...continued...

The fire lit the dry grassIt was gathering in strength

Like a lion preparing to strikeThe fire that ate the forest

The fire now reached the treesIt was a wild beast let free

Grey smoke billowed up to the skyThe fire that ate the forest

World Wide Web = the “global stage”

“27 people took the time to leave a

comment on Jarrod’s blog post.”

“The next morning, Jarrod’s mum emailed me: “You should have seen Jarrod’s face when he saw his post this morning,

he was so excited!””
