Paradise Erupts Mount Kilauea speaks with rock and fire Hawaii's biggest island makes a noise, new rivers flow like Pele's funeral pyre. A paradise of graceful palms with poise, warm sandy beaches, balmy scented air. A wonderland, vacationers rejoice. The climate draws adventurers to where the sea is clear and tropical breezes call, "explore my corral reefs, a life so rare." Exotic hula dancers sway, enthrall, a feast of mahi-mahi, pig and poi delights the locals, tourists, one and all. The island's known for fun, so pick your toy, a surfboard, snorkel, bike or hike a trail. A happy place to please each girl and boy. Idyllic bliss explodes beyond the pale, volcanic ash and fiery lava voice, destroying foliage, structures, all in swale. We know not who incited Pele's ire, she's blown her ancient top on Eden's shire. Mount Kilauea speaks with rock and fire, new rivers flow like Pele's funeral pyre. ~~Judi Van Gorder A Laurenelle
