1. Powerful Element
Almost three quarters/
zero point seven/
seventy percent
smoothers our precious planet.
Snow:
silently, gently
gathers upon the
world's thin crust.
Hail hammers happily;
harming human lives.
Sleet swooshes
creating dull slush.
Rain commonly washes
away all things;
violently or gently.
Over one quarter/
zero point three/
thirty percent
is swept by weeping waves.
Terrifying tsunamis,
Collected by tornadoes.
The harsh sound
of a flood scorches
my heart.
How fragile our source is:
Quenches our thirst
Maintains hygienic living.
Continues our fun and pleasure.
Mothers nature.
Allows our senses.
Prevents its fellow element.
H2O - hydrogen and oxygen.
Discovered in all matters of state.
Transparent.
Translucent.
Opaque.
Carefree with no emotions.
Scary how it seems.
Most people are scarce.
Droughts devastating land.
Dehydration among the poor.
Plentiful for the fortunate/
Lacking for poverty.
Upon I see
my own reflection.
Calm tranquility
as a leaf gently lands,
forming small ripples.
A fresh feeling as it
trinkles past me.
Water is either
good or evil/
peaceful or frightening.
