A pall of smoke from scattered sparks…
Kangaroo Island glows deep red
Its animals, en masse, lie dead…
Rescue Centres do their stuff
But flames do not abate – it’s tough
Stark tree stumps a grim landscape make
Clouds gather but they come too late.
Today a gentle rain damps down
Pearl-like drops on ashen gown…
But with their habitat laid waste
Koalas uncertainty now face …
