I thought i was going to have trouble with this one–my freind callled last night and asked ot be taken to hospital to see her ill husband at 8 instead of nine–so this prompt is safe, but I will have issues with the five \u00a0o’clock prompt since I have to go and pick her up then. Of course, on a rainy day here by the shore and with my friend’s health issues looming, I answered the prompt with two short poems.<\/p>\n
Prompt one 9 am Write a poem in which the four elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water) play an important part.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today’s sky is full of wind and water.<\/p>\n
Forcefully\u00a0 attacking the earth<\/p>\n
Happily quenching small fires in<\/p>\n
Nearby woods<\/p>\n
Quenching also the fires of my ambition<\/p>\n
I will stay home and read today<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earth, wind , fire, water<\/p>\n
Which element is out of synch<\/p>\n
In my friend’s body<\/p>\n
As he looks out<\/p>\n
Of his hospital window<\/p>\n
Watching<\/p>\n
Rain attack the ground<\/p>\n
Wind move the trees<\/p>\n
He feels life’s fires smoldering<\/p>\n
Only his hope and will<\/p>\n
Left to rekindle life’s spark<\/p>\n
From sheltered embers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
