Tenacious Earth
A series of haikus about the four elements: fire, water, air, and earth
Fire
Fire is fuel for earth
It also destroys the earth
Double-edged savior
Water
Water comforts earth
With tearful raindrops of love
Perhaps, too much love
Air
Air is delicate
Don't be fooled, it's also strong
Strong enough to shred
Earth
Earth, it's enduring
It has been through much toil
And yet, it still stands

Incredible!!! This is fantastic work. Excellent!
These are great haikus!
This is fantastic. I am a huge fan of haiku, and these were all beautiful. They stand alone as really nice haiku, but together they tell a story. I really love this.
I loved how with each haiku they told multiple sides of each element. I loved the way they flowed, especially loved the "double-edged savior" line. Excellent work!
Beautiful haiku about all elements, such elegant descriptions; lovely!!
Excellent work
Oh I loved the concepts of pros and cons that each element brings!
Nicely done.
Real;y great job, my favorite is the wind.
Great coverage in haiku form for the challenge, well done
Fabulous!!!💕💖
