Bushfire moon 14/1/14

The storm front blasted in: like a hurricane
Bringing gusts of wind: bringing rain again
So many places felt the grinding surge of heat
As lightning struck everywhere to the rain drops' beat 
Fires blazed up into roaring life: everywhere was strife
Fire fighters rushing to the deafening call: under a pall
Smoke rising up into that blistering summer sky
The calls came quick & fast: like an awful blast
Bringing destruction in it wake: no mistake!
