COMPETITION PROMPT

Water, fire, earth, and air. What would the four elements say if they could speak to each other?

Include as many or as few elements as you wish.

To Whom I Belong

I have always had a strong pull to the water

Oceans and waves calling my name

But the flames calls have always been more intense, hotter

To stare into the fire for hours on end would bring peace and insanity

As would floating endlessly


They know this

I have always had a strong pull to the water

Oceans and waves calling my name

But the flames calls have always been more intense, hotter

To stare into the fire for hours on end would bring peace and insanity

As would floating endlessly


They know this

They would be happy to claim me

But the earth refuses to release me to their torturous deaths

It wraps vines up my legs

Refusing to unwind until it is sure I am going to stay with him


The wind is my voice of reason

It whispers to me to not fight the vines as I yearn for the waves or the flames that will kill me

It lets the fire travel far enough to see me but not to burn

It pushes the waves back when they dare to get to close

And when the vines get to tight it slips in between so I am not in pain


The fire roars constantly

Let me have her

He is the most violent

The water however she sings to me

Offers a soft lullaby for my slumber in total contrast to her husband


As my father yells my mother sings and my little sibling wraps their arms around me

The wind being my only form of comfort

My protector

She is the one who sees all

The one who provides guidance and keeps me sain


She is quiet, but can be just as loud

She is soft, but she can hold back the waves

She is uncontrollable yet she is in control

And as fire screams for me and water sings to me and the earth pulls at me

It is the wind to whom I belong


The women who grew with me

The one who saw things others didn’t

She has grown to stand up for herself and hold herself back

From being a breeze to controlling a tornado we have grown

I am so proud of the women I have become
