EARTH ~ AIR ~ FIRE ~ WATER ~ TANKAS (57577)

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

EARTH  is the ROCK which

Forms the foundation of all

Seven Continents 

It's also Life giving SOIL

In which plants flourish & grow !

 

AIR  a mixture

NITROGEN and OXYGEN

Also CO2 

Nitrogen assists plant growth

Oxygen for animals !

 

FIRE purifies and

Destroys ~ Its a good Servant

But a bad Master !

The SUN is FIRE and it can

Start FIRE ~ It also gives Heat.

 

WATER is simple

H2O !  Essential for .......

Flora & Fauna !

Planet Earth ~ full of WATER

EARTH & AIR ~ FIRE & WATER !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

We now have 120+ Elements but when life was

simpler we just had four !  These are what made

Planet Earth habitable and unique !  Earth (Rock

and Soil)   Air (N2  O2  CO2) Fire (The Sun) and

Water (Vapour ~ Liquid ~ Solid) These Elements

all need Protection and Conservation for Life on

Earth to survive ! Be GREEN for your Grandchildren !

 

This poem is presented as TANKAS ~ 57577 syllables.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks ANDY ~ Folk Law and epigrams always have a lot of common sense ~ which is sadly lacking today ! I'm getting MAUDLIN ~ but then I am now middle aged (35) ! Please check my new FUSION ~ GOOD HABITS ~ BAD HABITS ? Thanks BRIAN

    • orchidee

      A fine elementary write there Brian -or shall I call you Dr Watson? Just call me Sherlock then!

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        ELEMENTARY MR HOLMES ! Life was simpler 200 years ago 4 Elements 4 Seasons 4 GOSPELS (there are now 28 !) and 4 Corners of a Round Earth and 4 Suits (H C D & S) The rule of FOUR covered everything and 4 shillings a week kept you out of Debt ! I blame the FROGS for decimalisation ! Thanks for your comment ! Please check my New Fusion ~ GOOD HABITS ~ BAD HABITS ? Yours BRIAN

        Fine and informative write Brian.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          THANKS MICHAEL ~ The Rule of Four ~ sufficed for a long time but progress (so called) always multiplies and amplifies ! Please check my New Fusion GOOD HABITS ~ BAD HABITS ~ thanks yours BRIAN

        • Fay Slimm.

          Four seems enough when addressing the elements needed for gratitude to the gift of life on this planet Brian - - a good reminder that nothing would live without this mixture - - love the picture you chose too.

            THANKS FAY ~ For your kind comment on Poem 'n Pic ! I like the facility on MPS to post a Pic or a Melody. Pictures especially ameliorate a Poem ~ and like you I do seek until I find. Primitive Man would see a Scene such as I posted and He would consider the FOREST and what caused it to grow. He would look around him and from experience would realise that without EARTH (soil) AIR (wind) WATER & FIRE (heat & light) from the SUN there could be no LIFE ~ Yours as always BRIAN Please check my FUSION on GOOD HABITS ~ BAD HABITS ~ thanks B !

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              THANKS CHRIS ~ I like TANKAS they give twice the scope of HAIKU & SENRYU ~ The PICTURE contained all four ELEMENTS to compliment the POEM ~ Pleased you enjoyed both ! Hermanos ~ ANGELA Y BRIAN ~ Hugs @@@@@@@ We Brits are all very happy because WILLIAM & KATE have a new PRINCE ~ no name yet ~ ARTHUR is favourite ~ Poem tomorrow A & B.
