You're a Pompeiian poet. Volcanic ash is raining down. You write one last poem. What is it?

EmalethSummer in Poetry & Free Verse

A white cloud drifts from above

Filling those around me in fear

Yet I am not afraid

The white cloud brings peace

Silence

The people flee

Yet I watch, and wait

I see the beauty of the ash

How it will preserve our lives

I see the future

That many will learn from us

And I feel peace

That my time has come at last
