The Next Important Volcanic Eruption

The Next Important Volcanic Eruption?

By Elton Camp

Cleveland volcano is over a mile high
To erupt again, it soon is going to try

Happily Ohio isn’t the threat’s location
It’s on an Alaskan island in isolation

Since it’s a fact that no human lives there
Then why about this volcano do we care

Because it’s directly below the Asian route
It will seriously disrupt air travel no doubt

Among Alaska’s ninety, it is often a threat
But it hasn’t any seismic equipment yet 

Likely soon, as it has done many time before 
It may erupt without warning us anymore

The view from space shows smoke from its vent
An eruption has a good chance of being imminent

We won't know until it happens will we..Then it could be too late..They say that there are 33 volcanoes in the U.S.A..We never know when one or all might decide that it is time to blow like an angry man who walks around holding all in..Enjoyed reading this morn..Sara
