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.
