The world is full of thoughts of crystal clarity
Our world itself posesses the upmost balnced soul,
Itself living, Itself Dying
As we had birth, are living, and will die.
Earth Brings us life.
Water sustains life.
Wind carries our last breathe.
Fire engulfs our very soul.
All is balanced with the world and ourselves.
Imbalance causes the elements to rage.
And if the elements are imbalanced.
Then life will be without meaning.

Sweet, made it to round three. The elements are a tough topic in regards to creativity. I'll try and come up with some smart way to go about it.

Does it have to contain all 4 elements coz thats a lot more dificult but allows people to show their true poetic talent
Ah, I did not make it in the third round. Death is a hard one. But good luck to everyone who has made it into the third round =).

No, you can either just write about two elements, one element or all four. It is up to the poet. =)

Im sorry, but you cannot compete due to the fact that this is the 3rd round of an ongoing competition. (previos topics, Love, Death)
Only 10 people may participate.
But nothing can stop you from posting, so if you do it for fun, post.
unless of course, Andersson does a Big Brother, Intruder Twist (Dont you dare!)

YAY I got one
Elements surrounding us
Bring life and death
Each one has a purpose
For we must all take out breath
Fire burns
While earth holds and bind
Water flushes out the strife
Yet wind howls out of its mind
If just one should disapear
then other will lately follow
Death soon will be here
For lifes shell is now hollow
==================================
Dam pity I ain in the rankings though but I puit heart into htis please dont judge me coz I like doing poetry

Well, there will be a new competition after the first session has got it's winner. ;-)
(BadGuys2:)AppeasingTheGods
Time is fickle with greatness
Casting it down from might
Making those who ruled seem
Unremarkably light, for
Water is held by Freezers
Stoves dominate Fire
Vacuums draw in Earth
From Fans, Wind as desired
Lamentable is such a fate? No!
For the real merit is lost
And in this age of Science
Falsehoods inevitably rot
=========================
To answer the likely question: Yes, I took the title from the popular flash movie, mainly because it fits the poem (although for purposes of the poem, you should ignore the part between the parenthesis) but also because I still find immensely funny the original flash.
I must admit though, that like last time, I'm not quite happy with this poem, but after having putting a considerable amount of effort into it, I loath to scrap it and begin again. Oh, and congrats to all those who passed! Cheers and kudos all round. =]
Woot! I made it in! ^_^
And elements... Hmm, this should be interesting. I look forward to reading all the contributions. :D
Well, I'll write mine... I don't know, I'll just do it when I feel like it. XD
Probably sometime tonight.

yay me. third round! this one could be hard though. anyway, here's mine.
It is bright and unwavering like love and compassion,
this symbol of ever burning passion.
This double edged sword that we call fire,
can cause good or evil things to transpire.
It provides us with warmth and light,
to see us through even the darkest of nights.
But it can also be a source of pain and fear,
something that destroys all that we hold dear.
Fire can be two-faced to any master it serves,
unless it is given the respect it deserves.
I'm gonna go back to my room and be awesome.

I hope everybody who made it actually sees this thread this time.

Can you choose an element? Or mix and match?
Or does it have to be all four elements? Just curious.

hava any elements you want, as long as its about the elements.
eg: You can do a poem about water...
