Poem Artwork


"S t a n d  t a l l  ??"
Try lying under Mt. Helena
unable to erupt.
Stone above, below an abyss.
Brave souls pick-axe air-holes.
Some crawl through thinking Rescue.
Breathe!  gasp.  Breathe!
Made it before, know you can do it
again! It-again-It-again-It
Meantime, lava hisses.
What do distant rumbles mean?

Maybe it is the work.
Maybe it is the rain.

~ ~ ~>

Sailors call it a cat's paw
breeze. Kitten ripples
silent sea. Inland, leaves sway
as the sun diamonds drops,
then spirits them to its vault.

Rain rinsed without scrubbing
this time. Just got rid of the grey.
Green sprinkles glitter on thank-yous
as Fall stirs yellows sure to pop.

Maybe the crawl will be worth it.
Storms again, always pray

(((pea)))

i can't even begin to imagine the horror of being caught by the hellish cloud of pyroclastic flow (imagery of 9-11 comes to mind), but i think you've captured it vividly and claustrophobic-ly--GAWD what an intense, scary write! vivid imagery compells the reader to gasp aloud--i did--powerful writing! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(

I can't imagine the horror! Phyllys, your description is very powerful. You communicate the experience with such accuracy it can be felt. Love to read your work, always!

Carmen :-)
