Volcano

From with-in earth boils
Violent eruption explodes
The sky filled with ash
Molten lava starts to pour
In death new life will be born

Powerful tanka Michael, I crept to the preludes of your great work, nice job by the way. I enjoy writing tankas, I just haven't written any lately. I'll see if I can knock one out this week. Thanks for your support and God bless...Raul

Just browsing through your poems and ran across this one. It's my write about volcanoes down sized. Seems everything else in today's world is being down sized, might as well be a poem too. Enjoyed the write.
