A poem I wrote about Mt. Vesuvius while I was in Italy
on the horizon
lies a dark hidden past
a different kind of party
where at least someone had a blast
it was a party of the ages
something to not soon forget
it was the day of the eruption
of mt Vesuvius
tucked behind Naples
on the Tyrrhenian Sea
a crater left behind
where there was once a peak
like an old grizzled war vet
from a time long past
the mountain stays dormant
and hopes it will last
