The Wordle words given were: spewing,jet,page,steps,park

rest,thunder,spill,status,curb,yards,shimmering

Note: The word ‘spewing’ gave the impression of lava

ash spurting out from a crater. The recent Pavlov volcano

eruption in the Aleutian peninsula inspired this wordle

A rumbling to life was felt blowing

Across the northern lights shimmering

An eruption plume was seen in the distance

Jets of hot lava were spewing in abundance

All out from a fiery hot crater

Accompanied then with a thunderous roar

That well shook the ground yards below

Where satellite images showed a lava flow
Reminiscent from a page in history
Of impending destruction of previous many

Spilling out down the northern side  

Threateningly towards a park astride

A small stream resting in all innocence

Where at 15,000 feet above sea level an ash plume

Was hovering and steps were taken to alert pilots of hazardous

Conditions in the area to curb crazy maneuvers

Residents from afar observed an incandescent glow so bright

With a dash of beautiful colors at the summit during the night.

The long stretch of heightened activity remained

On orange alert status for many days thence
