Vesuvius Eruption
Vesuvius Eruption
flumped
feeling
fading
forthcoming
carrying
his
giant
cyclopedia
in hand
snaring
of
day's sun
believing
his soul
hoisting
&
asked
don't cry
as
I feel free
an
angel
merely
skipped me
a
magma
hollow
inflated
as night
tip-toes into
obscurity
step
by
step,
suffering
start to
lock horns
breath
by
breath !!
24 August 79 A.D.
Vesuvius
stood
bloody
mighty
above
landscape
got cracking
his
colossus
detonation
mighty
cloud
of
ash & gas
swarmed
down
Plinian outburst
immersed
Herculaneum
Pompei
eradicated
Gaius Plinius Secundus
blazed
asphyxiating
writer
of
vastest
unique
work
about
natural
history
currently
Mount Vesuvius
on
his mode
to
vomiting.

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
