    Volcano Monologue

    Who’s the greatest of all?

    Fujiyama the valiant,
    in the land of Nihongin,
    a holy mountain of cherry blossoms
    white cap on top, perfect in every way,
    land of the rising sun’s most admired,
    frigid, but not courageous enough!

    Listen! No one doubts, outwits
    three Italian beauties,
    Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli

    Ah! Those old, feeble and descrepit
    Strumpets!

    Here’s one! Kilauea, remember?
    Hawaiian comely but rabid and
    renowned lava spewer!

    Silence!

    You can’t take off your eyes from her
    She’s more perfect than Fuji
    down south Pacific way,
    poise, gorgeous Mayon!.
    Magnificent in the night,
    delight of the Pearl of the Orient,
    verdant, daring, fearsome,
    mountaineers’ favorite!

    Oh no! Not her, forget everything, said I

    Gosh! Look up, forget her not!
    Mount Pinatubo, furious, bold
    The greatest of all times this century
    ever recorded in history, a celebrity!
    Supervolcano? Nyet!
    When angered, devastates,
    neo landmarks revealed,
    ash plume shoots up thousand feet,
    descends to earth as if snowflakes,
    darkness covers half the world, yet
    quiet now, dormant once more
    but not forever…its greatness
    wouldn’t be forgotten ever!

    Agreed!!!

    i am really enjoying reading your works. the imagery you possess and your ability to share through words is incredible.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
