Eve Roper Poet Haiku

Mount St Helens

angry inhale deep
venting smoldering tantrum 
animals fleeing


2/4/2020



Mount St. Helens in Washington erupts, causing a massive avalanche and killing 57 people on this day in 1980. Ash from the volcanic eruption fell as far away as Minnesota.

I lived only 235 miles south from Mount St. Helens when it erupted.

Rico Leffanta February 4, 2020 at 3:47 PM Nicely done, except Mother Nature exhaled, regurgitating all that upset her! Aloha! Rico Eve Roper February 4, 2020 at 3:53 PM inhaled first, to take a breath then released its aggravation :)

Vijay Pandit February 4, 2020 at 6:55 AM I remember that event--though I lived far away in Maryland (and still do). Your photo reflects the essence in your words, Eve.
