A youthful flame once burning bright
Is now too weak for this draining fight
As gusts of wind impede its growth
It vows to break its solemn oath
Afraid of burning out for good
It screams louder than it probably should
The screams and cries are muted each day
Silencing the flame in every way
Wishing for water to sooth its sores
The mighty flame becomes no more

Intro to Poetry – Day 1 (Water)
In response to The Daily Post’s prompt “Mad Libs”
Out of place in a home that is my own
Out of touch in a world where I should belong
Out of breath from running after a mirage
Out in a little island, foreign to all but me
Minuscule yet has an abundance of joy
Petite yet visible in an ocean of sorrow
Tiny yet full of will and courage
Small yet dripping with unharnessed potential
Its little heart beats loudly
Its blood runs deep
It aches from constant cruelty
But its soul it is destined to keep
A foreign island all alone
A little island standing tall
An unnoticeable island to those who can’t know
A peaceful island with dangerous waters below
Luscious flaming gem
Below the watery surface
A part of a past
Wicked witch
Wearing white
Waiting for a while
Warm winter
Welcoming watchers
Whispering near the water
Witch wishes watchers
While freezing water
Wondrous wonderland of ice
White ground
White water
White smiling witch
Watchers become skaters
When water turns to ice
Winter witch walks away in glee
(Tuesday 18th August – Tuesday 25th August)
This week’s theme is Water. Whether’s drinking water, salt water, lakes, rivers, seas or oceans, we are surrounded by water wherever we are. Even if you are in the middle of the desert, your body has water stored inside it. So needless to say, water is essential to our lives and the lives of all living beings. Use this theme to produce a short story, poem or haiku.
This challenge was supposed to be posted yesterday, sorry for the delay.
So which do you think is the strongest element?
