Whakaari Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

White Island! In New Zealand;
Hour of an active Volcano! ! North Island! Bay of Plenty;
An active volcano erupts! New Zealand's most active cone volcano! !
Killing tourists! Some wounded; and others still missing.
Ability of nature! ! And the power it possesses;
An active cone volcano erupts in New Zealand! Gases and ashes! !
Rushes out! ! ! Ejecting lava! Explodes and flames! ! Heavy smoke seen around;
In New Zealand! North Island! ! Bay of Plenty.
