Volcano

My poetry...

erupts

like a VOLCANO

spews forth in a cloud of steam and hiss

and sometimes

NOTHING

comes out at all.

It lays on the paper, gray

black, ashy, lifeless, dead.

Until I can dust it off

once again.

"Publication is the auction of the mind of man." -Emily Dickinson

Author's Note: I wish that I would have written that quote ..... Dickinson always said it best....

I love the form of this! Nice html'ing. But I have to say, sometimes it burns. A good burn, cleansing.
