Yellowstone Caldera 1834
Yellowstone caldera sudden shivers
Earthquakes follow, swallow soil that quivers,
Lifting expectations once again
Life hangs by hair 'spite prayer as joy and pain,
Open, close, day, night, rich land, sand, rivers
Will merge as lava surge destroys spleen livers.
Shakes and shudders fissures cause, park lain
Too long latent, dormant, well may rain
Outsize geyser skywards, dustbowl slivers,
Nova mushroom which itself delivers
Endless ice age blighting harvest grain.
