POEM STARTER

Submitted by Butterfly Queen

Write a poem that centres around one of the elements: fire, water, earth, or wind.

It could be descriptive or metaphorical.

Wind

Wind. It travels ‘round the earth. Bringing destruction. Bringing rains. I don’t really need to say it, but wind brings typhoons and hurricanes. And besides all that destruction Did I mention that wind brings rains? Wind. It blows the earth. Blows the water. Blows the fire. It can make a sticky situation all that much more dire. But without the wind, life would just stand still Then all of life would just be dire. Wind. It is the global current of all the world’s air. It circulates the precious gasses needed everywhere. I know that the wind is not the cause But it lets us breathe without a care. Wind. Can also be so gentle. A caress upon the breeze. It also scatters pollen that often makes us sneeze. But the scattering of pollen gives us food So much depends upon that breeze. Wind, it is a driving force, causing havoc, causing pain Wind also gives us life, gives us air, brings us the rain. Wind and fire, earth and water, taken all together These four ancient elements always shall remain.
