Fire Water Air and Earth

I'm Fire, bearer of heat and light
I've forged the fate of all Mankind.
And burning bright amongst the stars,
my attributes are well defined.

I'm Water, essential to life;
I pool within lakes and oceans.
And flow free within every cell,
an innate magical potion.

I'm Air; I comprise every breath,
oxygenating red blood cells.
And absorb carbon dioxide
when your lungs fill and your chest swells.

I'm Earth; I'm essential for health,
supplying minerals cells need.
And I provide trace elements
absorbed whenever life forms feed.

We are Fire, Water, Air, and Earth;
alchemists said they understood.
And yet, strove to hide their insights
through the ages as best they could.

Miranda Hawley Date: 9/23/2023 7:40:00 PM You talked about the elements nicely as individuals. With this style of writing you would have gotten a first place if there a bit about their relationship. That said nice job on your win in my contest. Login to Reply Emile Pinet Date: 9/24/2023 7:18:00 AM Thanks, Miranda; I appreciate your comments, my friend, Emile.

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire Date: 2/6/2015 6:34:00 PM Dear Emile, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit. I enjoyed reading this POETIC Tapestry and Would Like to answer Michael Clarke's ?? The Form "I do not Know" is not well received on the SOUP Many Times with Many POETS it disqualifies YOU from winning a Contest. YOU should enter Linda/PD's contest. YOU can always use Free Verse when YOUR not sure about the form. This POEM could be Rhyme: soul-whole; ocean-potion; blood- bud; need- feed;understood-could. Superb Quill...HG Login to Reply Emile Pinet Date: 2/7/2015 10:56:00 AM Thank you HG, for pointing that out, it was meant to be rhyme the " I don't know" was a error that I overlooked. I will change it now, thanks again. Emile.
