About This Poem

Nature the Destroyer

hot liquid
bubbling cauldron...
witches brew


sulphuric acid
nostrils flare...
matches ignite


lava overflows
on mountain crevice...
blister patch



for PD's contest

    Very good work..Reads like a winner to me..Not sure if you are speaking of an actual volcano or if you are refering to a pot of grits in the kitchen..I feel like it is an erupting volcano when my grits blow over the top..Ha!..Thanks for the honor of being placed in your favorites..Sara
