Element - 20

Rain;

monotonous tap on plastic roof, 

dreary, irritating rhythm, 

much-needed water.

Element - 19

Earth; 

is moisture, fertile & rich

dark soil supporting tomato & pepper plants

nourishing, giving life.

Element - 18

Rain;

fine shower suddenly falling

from high clouds

Element - 17

Sun;

heavy with heat,

liquid gold in the air

benign, sovereign, joy-bringer, life-giver,

light.

Element - 16

Cloud;

low & drifting

conccealing the far horizon

closing in

making an island of the hilltop

saturating air and earth

with welcome moisture.

Element - 15

Rain; 
backed by a flurry of windiness
cool drops fall heavily
soaking concrete and earth.

Element - 14

Thunder; 
squeezing the air out of my lungs, 
lays his oppressive hand upon me, 
deafening me with his sudden roar.

Element - 13

Air;
heavy with the threat of rain
of moisture lingering in the atmosphere - 
warmth, life, hope.

Element - 12

Cloud;
grey looms, threatens
casts sporadic showers
but here no rain falls.

Element - 11

Earth;
damp, holding water,
saturated after long, drenching rainfall.
