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 donโ€™t get too close.


โ€”โ€”โ€”๐Ÿ”ฅโ€”โ€”โ€”


water:

doesnโ€™t the deep blue below

amaze you?

arenโ€™t i such a beautiful topic?

and yet so unexplored as well.


you want to explore me?

by all means, go ahead!

but donโ€™t say

i didnโ€™t warn you there are dangersโ€ฆ


โ€”โ€”โ€”๐Ÿ’งโ€”โ€”โ€”


wind:

the breeze on a hot day,

the fan blowing on your face,

the air you breathe,

the thing your room is full of,


itโ€™s all me, the wind.

but you recognize me

as the causer of a sandstorm?

oh well, you be youโ€ฆ


โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ’จ โ€”โ€”โ€”


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.
