Taal Volcano

     Taal Volcanoooooo

it’s
just
a little
islet afloat
in an expanse
so serene and quiet
only a pulsating ember
creeps out of the milky mist
blazing violence now rarely seen
children on horseback on your slopes
unaware of the havoc you once caused

Thanks for reading

There's a way!

You can:

> write it on a piece of paper > scan it with a resolution of 300 dpi > crop it

> then upload as image on any website. :)

not SEO friendly

 yup it can be done that way but scanned images of words cannot be crawled by google's spider thus cannot be indexed by the SEO except fot the title.

salamat sa mga comments.

salamat sa mga comments. nakakataba ng puso.

mahirap maghubog ng shape poems sa internet dahil sa limitasyon ng formatting options.

Hindi naman malalim ang tulang ito. I was just having fun with the challenge of doing something that ee cummings is very good at...poems with graphic designs.
