“Battle of the Elements”


Free Verse: (I love this one)



red and orange light glows

the hot flames lick the trees
by the command of the fire god
who wants to destroy everything new and green
and cover the world in corrupted flame.

goddess of water must protect
purity and innocence of the young mind;
she commands water to parch the flames.

water wants to keep them green,
leave the child young and free.
fire wishes to disagree
thinking youthful minds need charring debris.

in this battle of opposing elements,
who will prevail?
will the world end in flame
or will water reign?

will the children be forced to lose all innocence?
come of age before their time?
or will the new growth survive to live another day?
