Elemental

Water seeps over crags,

Iridescent bridal veils,

Murmur in the breeze.

Clouds drift so gently,

Billowing; forming pictures.

Endless spirals float.

Deep, dark and strong roots,

Hold up the Earth so tightly.

We devour her fruit.

A natural blaze,

Smokes, singes, with a yellow tongue.

A bright inferno.

They are feeble alone.

But together they are strong.

They protect out home.

I love the elements! Air is my favorite element as well as my favorite stanza in this poem. I like how you personify nature in interesting ways. It's always a good time to celebrate Earth's beauty. Good job. :)

I love this. I especially enjoy how you're so descriptive in only seventeen syllables.

I've always had a fascination for the four base elements. Probably from playing too much Final Fantasy. You've given a great description of each image and element, and the last haiku makes for a great ending. Nice one!
