Elements Part 4: Fire - Pele, Goddess of Fire

Pele, Goddess of Fire First fire surges from the inner Earth. Island waters greet the fire goddess Risen from Earth's fiery core, her birth, Endows with lava, land from her first kiss. Exploding from a volcanic shower Earth spews fire as Pele emerges... Her hair glows golden in the twilight hour, Streaming slowly as her passion surges. Gracefully she moves and quietly creeps On her burning path toward silver sea. Wanting all things that she covers, she keeps. Pele's steamy kisses saved for the sea. Sorrow's shadowed Pele for timeless years. Sadness is seen in her ebony tears. April 30, 2016 ELEMENTS Part 4: Fire - Poetry Contest Sponsor Brian Davey *Pele's hair is a form of lava. It is named after Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. It can be defined as volcanic glass fibers or thin strands of volcanic glass (Shimozuru, 1994). The strands are formed through the stretching of molten basaltic glass from lava, usually from lava fountains, lava cascades, and vigorous lava flows. *Pele's tears Pele’s tears is a geological term for small pieces of solidified lava drops formed when airborne particles of molten material fuse into tearlike drops of volcanic glass. Pele’s tears are jet black in color and are often found on one end of a strand of Pele's hair. Pele's tears is primarily a scientific term used by volcanologists.
