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.
Flow (free verse)
Water is forever a changing thing,
Its flow never ending and constant.
Its scent wafts through the air
And fills your senses.
The water you drink and bathe in,
Was used by at least three others.
The cycle causing this,
As it remembers.
We take it for granted
The luck we have
That we have what we have
And it’s not a dream.
Although it’s strong,
And although it’s rough,
The life it gives us,
“There will never be enough!”
We humans are greedy
And take everything
But within our hearts,
We harbor a guilt.
