Kisses and Popsicles Spring Poetry Contest

2007 - Third Place Winner: Mina Elza


Element Poems

 


Flame

from a spark
a glowing presence
crackling
eating wood
dancing light on the walls
warming the cold
hungry for more
penetrating all darkness
fading the shadows
behold-the fire


Wind

Soaring
swirling
blowing away
lifting the birds
swaying the trees
howling
moaning
storm


Water

flowing over earth
carving stone
ripples in a lake
falling over cliffs
summoning the rainbow
spraying, glittering, sparkling
churning, frothing
still
 


Earth

damp soil
grows the plants
hiding its secrets
deep deep down
under the roots
of trees and plants
farther than knowing
deeper
ever deeper
