I guess this is the most simple poem i've ever written. It just surprised me because it came to me one day and I just kept writing it.. Thought its content is short and may prove meaningless to you, I hope you enjoy it anyways ^^
As mellow as a cloud
As loud as a roar
As gentle as a shroud
As strong as an oar: Water
As bright as the sun
As dark as the haze
As sweet as some hon-ey
As hot as a blaze: Fire
As soft as the wind
As rough as a storm
As mellow as a melody
As swift as a thorn: Air
As vivid as life
As dead as a tree
A place you call home
A place to be free: Earth
A separate poem could be very aptly composed taking each element into account. I had once written a poem combining the elements. Its subject matter was entirely different though. Here it goes:
"Wish I could just become the weightless air,
And drift on breeze into your ambiance,
Spread good vibes while you breath my love in there,
Being unbeknownst of its pure presence.
Nay? ... Then let me become the waves of sound,
And ride on air and perch on your ear's nest,
Then dulcet tunes in them let me abound-
Express essence of my life, while you rest.
If not, then let me be the water bead,
And rise from seas, above, mid thunder's voice,
Then float with clouds until there is a need,
To pour on your face; tell you 'bout surreal joys.
Else 'least a flame in your fireplace mid grate,
Few moments brighten on your beauteous face,
Not being deserving enough, blame Lords of Fate.
Before I vanish into nothingness.
If your Love - fire, water, air or sound,
I cant be; then just merge me with the ground."
Awesome one there. I really liked this one. Meaningless you say? No no.
I especially loved the last stanza. This poem reflected simplicity at it's best.
