Woot first poem done!! Can’t wait to get the others written.
Compass Elements
I stand in a circle
Looking north to mountains
Earth rising above me
Strength and will holding it high
I turn to the east
Watching trees bend
Wind showing it’s gentle strength
Bending rather than breaking
I step to look south
Watching a bonfire roar
Controlled chaos trying to lick free
Wishing to ravage all in it’s path
I finally face west
Water lapping the shore
Ready to become destroying waves
Disaster coming from the depths
This poem had certain Wiccan/pagan elements to it (not sure if that was your intention) which I loved and the different verbs chosen for each section was really well done, painting a picture without needing a lot of adjectives and showing the duality of the gentleness and savageness of nature. Wonderful poem!
Thank you! Also thank you for commenting on this one! I have completely forgotten about this poem and honestly don’t believe I wrote it XD That’s just how the marathon feels. But yes I wasn’t thinking about Wiccan/pagan things too much but I am here for it being that sort of vibe.
