Her Element Bouquet

This planet we live on is one third earth
Continents now large began to take shape
Border creations, tribes so rich in worth
Gorgeous contours on this wonderful scape
 
.~.

This planet we live on is two thirds water
Creating oceans and seas, rivers and lakes
This fluid of life flows, to us she caters
Beauty and destruction is left in her wake

.~.

This planet we live on has the marvel of fire
That changed all our tomorrows so differently  
Natures invention to us, allowed mans inspire
Mans progression marched on, so significantly

.~.

This planet we live on has weathers of range
Delivering sun and rains, with various winds
To her so real but to us humans so estranged
Behavior or change or she will never rescind

.~.

These incredible four are all here to stay
Earth, water, wind and fire, element bouquet

An element bouquet...a lovely thought and an original way of presenting nature's elements. Nice couplet at the end, tying the title in to your poem beautifully. Good luck in the contest ~ Sharon :)
