Earth, Air, Water and Fire

Earth is very hot
seeds find rooting hard
few seem to flourish
in the barren earth

Air struggles to cool
plants enough to grow
in the terrible heat 
they start to wither

All suffer from heat
a spark of fire
spreads through the field
the seeds start dying

Water saves the day
giving all vital life
as it soaks land 
putting out the fire

Dear Shadow, Your poem packs a powerful punch in its simplicity. The stark portrayal of the elements at odds with each other paints a vivid picture of struggle and survival. While the poem is short, it leaves a lasting impression. It reminds us of the delicate balance of nature and the interconnectedness of all things. It also carries a subtle message of hope, emphasizing the power of the right element to bring life back, even in the face of devastation. Thought Provoking. - Blessings, Daniel
