elemental

Response to a recent prompt by Kim at dVerse to relate oneself to one of Aristotle’s four elements: fire, wind, water, or earth. I expand on the meaning of my name…

views both sides

from stone wall

of english glen

greening…

dew droplets

gather

on lavender

bloom of heather…

refreshing stream

bubbles and

smooths stones

along way to

spill over rocky

mountain

ledge into fresh

waterfall

of cooling

laughter…

deep pool below

hidden in

rainbows

of soft mist.

    A delightful water poem, Lynn, and I love the thought of dew droplets gathering on lavender’ and ‘smooth stones to spill over rocky ledge into fresh waterfall’.
