As the crow leers at everyone below
the superstitous feel the warning in their bones
they try to warn, but the people do not listen
Then the catastrophe strikes and the people run in fear
Something of a great magnitude struck this small town
and the aftermath is terrible beyond measure
After the tragedy passed, the town is no more
covered in soot, broken earth, and lava,
the town has been rendered useless
a single tree remains standing
and the crow flies down staring at the landscape
and lands on the tree that is still standing
I told you so, the crow silently says

I am sorry to tell you, but I definitely do not agree that this is one of your worst. The idea is simply wonderful, the language you use is really great- you have worse poems than this. The only thing with this is you might want to make it more polished to do the poem justice. It's a great poem.

This is a wonderful poem. Nature lovers would just adore this. You could very well pay attention more to polish of this poem- line length and layout- but the content is wonderful. I will be back once I have read some other of your poems.
