I am weeping
February 25, 2009I’ve made up another one of my many poems. This one is for a school task and is about the Victorian bushfires.
They are gone
Oh they are gone
And I am weeping
All alone
My family home
Is burned to the ground
My mother’s photo
Is all I found
But my family
What of them?
Are they safe?
A siren in the distance
An ambulance
But too late
They are gone
Oh they are gone
And I am weeping
All alone
I know it’s very depressing but it’s about the Victorian bushfires. It had to be depressing.
This is a lovely poem. I really like the rhythm of your words and the restraint in your writing.
