The Mighty Blister

Hear ye, hear ye
Feel the ground as it trembles beneath
Taste the air's ferocious breath
And watch the ocean blue turn raging red

Hail! The mighty blister has awaken
Roaring and grumbling and taking
All the years he has dearly missed
Lying dormant and very still

Halt! It's time to evacuate
To the darkest caves and tallest tree houses - it will keep us safe
No, no, you are gravely mistaken
For the raging mound will always find its way

Cough, cough, that mountain's so rough
Spewing streams of clouds so white
But is choking our own precious lifeline
And is burning and decaying our very insides

Hiya! Hiya! Let the horses stop and neigh
For molten anger seeps from its veins
Just a touch - smolder!
No soul will be left to tell the tale.

Fear not what the eyes could offer
But what lies inert underneath
Even the most angelic and mightiest hump
Hides a devastating infernal sigh


So I decided to write a poem about volcanoes and this is it. We are awed by its grace and how it stood firmly to the ground. However, this beauty hides a very devastating nature. When it erupts, a volcano could literally erase a community or an island from existence, just like what happened to Pompeii when Mt. Vesuvius erupted on 79 AD. Hope you enjoy it :)

Here's an obligatory cute volcano for your day. Happy Valentine's day in advance :)
