Notes About The Poem

Robert James Liguori and I decided to collaborate on five poems covering the classical elements ~ Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Aether. It has been a fun challenge and we hope you ( the reader ) enjoy what you see...

Our five poems including this one ~~~

Earth ~ World's Destiny

Air ~ We Can't See The Wind But It's Effects Are In Plain View

Fire ~ Fire's Place

Water ~ The Love Of Water

Aether ~ The Fifth Element

A huge thanks again to Robert for the inspiration and Collab!

The Fifth Element

( A COLLABORATION BY NATASHA L SCRAGG AND ROBERT JAMES LIGUORI )

Aether is the fabric of our universe -
Tiny granules that transfer energy
In the form of waves ~~~
This goes on unseen constantly!

It propagates light and other waves,
Longitudinal and transverse
( Or electromagnetic )
Right across the universe!

Aether stretches far beyond
The laws of physiology!
Did you know that Aether
Is also a god in Greek Mythology?

In chemistry, it is flammable.
It is used as an anaesthetic.
It's a solvent used in industrial processes -
Google it ~ this knowledge is authentic!

But at the same time,
It's a word that is seldom heard.
Most people have better luck
Deciphering the songs of a bird!

But today,  ' Aether ' was on my list,
To master and triumph,
As if it was a fifth wish!

Oh, the gravity of this situation,
Like cosmic forces similar to Shakti,
I feel that I have learned so much!
Should I be yelling out,  ' Yahtzee! ' ?

The king of the classical elements,
Earth, Air, Water and Fire ~~~
Aether bends and amends our universe,
To be the most desired!

Ann Peck October 3, 2021 at 9:04 AM I did not know that about aether. I knew it was an anaesthetic and gas, of course. King of the classic elements, yet seldom named! Thank you for your enlightenment Natasha L Scragg October 3, 2021 at 11:02 AM Yes I never knew about it either until Robert set the challenge. It was so interesting to learn about it. :-)
