Notes About The Poem

Written September 5, 2023
For The Contest, “Personification of the Elements”
Sponsor, Miranda Hawley

Water and Fire

I am your treasured Water, source of life; Without me, ecosystems could not be. My oceans, rivers, streams- are full and rife; But, uncontrolled- can lead to tragedy. And, I am Fire, your friend or foe Earth form; As forests age, I burn and recreate. My flames can cook your food or keep you warm. Yet, running free may cause a sorry fate. We two join up to form a balanced gain- As basic elements of your grand Earth. While Water hydrates- Fire's warm comforts reign; Can intertwine all levels- fault or worth. Two elements among your Earth's grand scheme; We, Fire and Water offer ups and downs. Though torch of flames and rushing waters team- Our happenstances can bring smiles or frowns.

Your approach of bringing a view of balance to these two elements was most excellent. Showing fire and water for both good and bad, was a GREAT decision for a win in this contest. Congratulations!
