February Is Back, Little Quake??

Our April warmth has come and gone
In February, it's not going to last long
A mid-winter thaw is nice but a tease
Now back into winter garb we squeeze
Venturing out, was a bit of a shock
Yet, longer daylight shortens winter's clock
Not listed yet, but I felt a quake
10:30ish, big rumble with tirehouse shake
If it wasn't a quake, something exploded
Fingers crossed: fascist neighbor mis-loaded
Volcano list updated, 14 belching mountains
Usual names, only Fuego with lava fountains
But, plenty of ash and pyroclastic flows
Pretty typical Ring O Fire shows
Lovely sunset last night, but where's moon
Then shining, notice me! it popped out soon
But, too cloudy to see much more
And, nothing early, as I peeked out the door
Even though Saturn, Venus and Jupiter sat
In line above Sagittarius's teapot hat
Tonight Mars sits straight above crescent moon
Closer tomorrow but here rain will likely ruin

And, in petty human news
Fools still offended by past views
Learn and grow but can't undo the past
It's the future that's really coming fast
Worry about how the future will judge
How from growth & greed we won't budge
How offensive our polluted waters and skies
Ancient superstitions cling to power through lies
How long will oil and war steer our way?
Remember, Earth don't care and it don't play
Be nicer, judge less, share a smile, ok
And, get out for lovely walk on Earth today!!
