haiku - the elements

earth, water, wind and fire

By Debora DyessPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

keeper of all life

both benevolent and harsh

nature bides her time

nature responds; rivers flow

all creation sighs

breeze ruffles new leaves

lifts hawks above mountains

Beneath the surface

Lava ‘s fiery fury waits

For time to erupt

nature poetry
