Ash Wednesday

There were ashes every where, I am still expecting to see some down here. Barbados may be miles away but with all that is already happening throughout Europe, thousands of miles away from Iceland where Eyjafjällajökull erupted, anything can be expected. The international news has been boisterous about this volcano which has such a difficult name to pronounce and translates roughly into three names Island Mountain Glacier.

Ash Wednesday

A volcano erupted in Iceland on Wednesday

Spewing Ash up 5 miles that drifted far away

Had all the airports temporarily closed down

We saw business people and tourists stuck all around

Eyja -Fjälla-Jökull pronounced AY-yah-FYEL-lah-YER-kuhl

Didn’t caused any known deaths but undoubtedly cruel

Nations were covered in its falling dust

Exacerbating peoples’ asthma and now others must

Spoil their travel plans what ever the seriousness

Days of overstays, weddings and funerals to miss

Ash, Wednesday last still falls from the skies

Yes, no deaths recorded but for many a cruel demise
