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.

the four

fire:

how beautiful it is

to watch you burn.

how wonderful it is

to see you turn to ashes.


i am the one

who allows this to happen,

for i am of fire,

the warmth, but don’t get too close.


———🔥———


water:

doesn’t the deep blue below

amaze you?

aren’t i such a beautiful topic?

and yet so unexplored as well.


you want to explore me?

by all means, go ahead!

but don’t say

i didn’t warn you there are dangers…


———💧———


wind:

the breeze on a hot day,

the fan blowing on your face,

the air you breathe,

the thing your room is full of,


it’s all me, the wind.

but you recognize me

as the causer of a sandstorm?

oh well, you be you…


——— 💨 ———


earth:

i keep you alive.

i let you live.

i rotate each day.

i function right.


but one day,

i will collapse on you,

and you will do nothing

but scream.
