Its perfect cone
Valley to sea....

S-ee the perfect cone, 
H-iding from its eruption, 
A-s the lava flows.

While kiss by the clouds
     Perfect cone remains sober
           Fury hides beneath



















The subject is one of the active volcanoes
in my homeland, Philippines.  Proud to be 
one of the nominees in the race for
7 Wonders of Nature :)...

She's been dreaming of
a beyond compare life,
like Mayon volcano's
stunning shape,

but this just sickly sticks
in her bold eyes
while staring at
the fabulous view

that she's been painted
perfectly
for decades, to be the best
yet only turns into a
scary sketch....

T-wentieth February beacon comes, 
R-ising above the horizon; 
I-t's a beautiful Monday, 
S-unday's brought to oblivion, 
H-igh and perfect cone stands firm and tall; 
A-mazing smoke from Mount Mayon rises as the huge rocks fall. 

O-bliterate the mess, 
D-irt and grime on earth; 
O-ne volcano is now calm, friends fill your birth with mirth....

J-ust let Wednesday morning
O-pen the day with light; 
E-vening comes to a close, 
M-ist fades into the night.
I-t's not a foggy February first, your birthday brings much fun; 
L-et the dakness disappear in front of the rising sun.

M-ount Mayon stays calm, 
U-nder the wide blue lane; 
J-ust let the grass on the hill
A-sk for the pouring
R-ain....

C-oal clouds Friday morning 
A-re not becoming black; 
T-wentieth January beacon 
R-ises, remaining on track. 
I-t's a beautiful day, 
N-ew dawn starts to break; 
E-vening shadows disappear, so does the heartache. 

B-ad weather has vanished, 
O-utside the sky is clear; 
N-o more mist and haze, 
A-s your birth brings much cheer. 
O-pen both your eyes, 
B-ehold the perfect cone and know; 
R-umbling rocks are heard, 
A-s you're near the Mayon volcano....
