Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ELEMENTAL, by VERNE BRIGHT
First Line: Fire, malevolent, can char
Last Line: Love is much akin to these.
First Line: Fire, malevolent, can char
Last Line: Love is much akin to these.
Fire, malevolent, can char
And make a cinder of a star.
Water, with its trivial thrust,
Can grind a continent to dust.
With its swift obsidian dart,
Frost can break a mountain's heart....
To a soul bereft of ease,
Love is much akin to these.
