Volcanic Interruption Poem by James Tipp

Suddenly all our certainties and pre- paid plans are in disarray
The world that is so small has enlarged considerable overnight
Being grounded has moved from the teenage punishment
To the shutting down of the nations across the many flight paths
The best laid plans of mice and men of Burns fame calls out
A just reminder that there is a bigger picture we to often forget
Just a small eruption in a far off place unheard of until now
Changes the pattern of our thinking and our life style, challenges
Do we really have all the answers, when the question is unknown?
