Volcano

Volcano

Faintest rumble deep inside
Pressure building up so tight
Now active, no place to hide
Cracks develop very slight
Fearful of each passing hour
Brutish force intensely gains
Whole Mountainside devoured
Engulfed in ferocious flames
Noxious gasses smoldering
Destroying those within reach
Blame who will be shouldering?
Let mother nature now teach
Creeping slowly, mighty mound
Its unstoppable and free
Burning fingers reaching down,
Heading towards cooling sea
Water calms this fiery beast
Dousing down molten river
After its most hellish feast,
Ocean waves cause a shiver
Where ice and fire do meet
Stone is setting just as planned
Once both entities do greet
Creating newly formed land

Once both entities do greet
Creating newly formed land

From the cataclysm, painted in a series of vivid and stark images, comes the creation of new land...it's almost as though you're saying that ONLY from the "Noxious gases smoldering" can come the creation of that new land!!

I love it...and you.

Yes Jason, of course your right. What we call a natural disaster that brings chaos and destruction in its wake also has a purpose. It is only us humans that fight for nothing but sport and glory...the earth and nature in general has a goal whether it's to create new land or for survival, everything has a reason!!
I love you too by the way!!

My Dear Lorna,

You took me back to Pompeii, 79 A.D., and the eruption of mighty Mount Vesuvius.  I felt the earth tremble under my feet with every powerful word.  Now for the comedian in me, it also made me very horny, because all I could think of was "a piece of ash".  Crazy juxtaposition isn't it?  I end with a Haiku.

The berg now appears
Earth and fire coagulate
A new land is born

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Hahaha, I really laughed at the "peice of ash". Thank you so much for your comments and haiku.
Hottest piece of ash
They all trembled her feet
​​eruptive glory

All my love to you Linda and Cody

My Dear Lorna,

Consummate Haiku
The lava in her drawers
Engulfs her lovers

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Linda, Larry and Little Cody (Had to hide these hot Haikus from my little boy)
