destinations–
the details repeated,
magnified, untraveled–
living outside
a map
random lines break down–
the page explodes, caught trembling–
from nothing, vast light
The Kick-About poem and collage and Oracle 2 Badger above serve as a prelude to my third Volcano offering at Pure Haiku, which you can read here.

this internal
growth–sudden burst of stars–
gigantic, wonderful–
an attack of
pure light
inside opens out
disintegrates unbound–
what was not, now is
You can read my second Volcano poem at Pure Haiku here. Do visit, as it complements the Kick-About poem and Oracle 2 Badger above.

Elisa Ang provided the artistic inspiration, above, for my series of volcano poems appearing this week at Pure Haiku. Serendipitously, the Kick-About recently hosted a prompt based on Turner’s painting of Mt. Vesuvius, for which I made a series of collages and wrote a cadralor of volcano-themed poems titled “In Search of Venus”. And Jane’s Oracle 2 words provided further inspiration for me to write five Badger poems to go with the volcano theme.
You can read my poem at Pure Haiku here. Thanks, as always, to Freya Pickard for her continued support of my work.
