Notes About The Poem

Sleeping Volcano---

SLEEPING VOLCANO---

                  Been hundred years since summers blazing fires, awaken
                             Volcanic ash burning rain fires red awake
                                    She's a sleepy valley resting
                                     Alas, her pearly white shaw
                                        covers her shoulders, 
                                              Now asleep
           ...As I tally counting the sparkles snow glistering boulders

                                 Shines brighter than the sun
                            Clear waters soft ripples break still
                      Sharp green pine needles waving evergreen
                                Sleepy lake clear view dreams

                                        awaken snow drifts
                               all blighted wet white shadows
                                         sleeping volcano
