I am weeping

February 25, 2009

I’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.
