I came up with without pausing from typing:
The ashes fall,
Tainting the ground,
Darkness all around.
The stagnant smell fills my nostrils,
Intrigues my senses,
Raises my defenses.
The sound of gunfire in the distance,
Loud flashes, startling me from my peacefulness,
The sooner this all ends the sooner I can rest.
You have a go
Just write and don't stop and see what you can come up with.
If you pause to think you are cheating
