Kilauea's eruption began in 1983
Three months and no lava to see
For vulcanologist, that ends an eruption
For an active volcano, meerly seduction
Yet, still the lava pools and stirs
Tiny quakes, the living Earth purrs
For at least 80 million trips round the sun
Basaltic lava's oozed out, Kilauea's not done
And, neither is Veniaminof, Krakatoa or Etna
Or Mayon, Manam or Sabancaya will get ya
The volcano numbers are down this week
Earth's still hot and out that heat will leak
But, not causing many quakes today
Way fewer aftershocks up Anchorage way
While lower quake numbers may seems strange
We all know, there ain't nothing but change
And a weather change is coming soon
With more rain by tomorrow noon
That should wash away much of the snow
And, load up waterways with major flow
Another flood, that's a 2018 shock
Wash out the leaves, move more rock
Last night Mars and the moon shown through the haze
But, with rain coming, won't be visible for days
You know the rules, better outside than in
Get out there, wander, a low stress win
This Thirsty Thursday, Today On Earth.
