Act 1 Scene 1 Water: “ I am water and I create Energy without using coal.” Air : “I am air, and I can now create Energy without using coal” Water:” I flow through a pipe, then push against blades in a turbine that spin to power a generator to produce clean green electricity.” Air:“It's discovered that clean green electricity is generated from my humidity.” Act 2 scene 1 Water : “I cover 71% of the earth’s surface” Air: “I cover 100% of the earth’s surface” Water: “I contain Hydrogen and Oxygen” Air: “ So do I” “ I am needed to produce fire” Water: “ I extinguish fire when its out of control or no longer needed.” Act 3 Scene 1 Water : “I prevent dehydration in humans and animals and without me they could not survive” “I have no calories” Air: “I prevent suffocation in humans and animals and without me they could not survive” “I have no calories either” Air: “ Vegetation, birds and mammals need me to survive Water:” Vegetation, birds , fish and mammals need me to survive Water:” I am needed to swim." Air : “ I am needed to swim and run and climb and walk." Water and Air in unison: ” I guess we are a special pair” "This earth is lucky we both are there." They take a bow- Exit stage right. THE END

I read the opening line, the stats in the middle and the closing sentence - I feel educated so I thought I'd linger and say congratulations on your placement :)

This little play was a special take on my contest, and I simply had to give you a placement on the merrit of it being different than my other entries that I got for this contest. Congratulations on your win with my contest.

Clever take on the elements, and it seems a draw. After reading, I think I like them both as much as before.

Awwn, honestly this was such an interesting, mesmeric and beautiful read.. I can't help but marvel at the thought of you coming up with an act of air and water.. And how impeccably you've described their importance in such intelligent personification. Although these being known facts, I still am in awe because I just love how wonderfully you've written this. Also, I've been trying with fire & air for this contest, but ain't sure if I'll be able to post before the deadline, well, best of luck :)

Of course you will. Sit and type everything that comes to you on the subject. Then leave it. Go back later and read it. If its good, leave it, if it doesn't please you, fix it. You have shown yourself already to be a beautiful poet. Never doubt your work before its written Thank you for your lovely words Hiya. I am not a poet, just a person that writes poems, my talent is in being different. Sometimes that's enough. BOL to you in the contest.

Real scientific facts about water and air. We can not live without any one of them.

This one was hard for me, It doesn't rhyme !!! Glad you liked it anyway Jay. Thanks for the comment.

Though these are known facts, when we get a chance to read this, we are once more reminded how air and water are indispensable for survival. Concur with the tall claims of both these elements...! Cannot say which is superior ! A beautiful personification in dialogue form.

Thank you Valsa. My poor old brain couldn't see how to make a readable poem on this subject, so I decided the next best thing was to make it a play. Glad you thought it turned out OK. Thank you for your lovely comment. Best wishes SV.

SV, your writing is truly remarkable and exceptional. The way you have chosen to depict AIR and Water through dialogue personification is absolutely mesmerizing. You have successfully painted a stunning and captivating picture that is truly enchanting.

Oh dear Lasaad, your wonderful words humble me into unworthiness. Undoubtedly I thank you as they attempt to build my esteem. Turning our two element heroes into actors in a play, was a decision I made from being incapable of presenting an adequate poem for the contest. Please accept my gratitude for your splendid comment.
