In My Element

Poetry in motion, moving mountains and oceans

Fractures in the dirt, the Earth quakes at the notion

Tectonic plates snap and break like cracked glass

Lava leaks and turns vegetation to black ash

Seismic shifts cause fissures and volcanoes erupt

Wind begins to howl and create tornadoes of dust

Hail and sleet, scale to feet when I brainstorm

Flurries of fury twist like coils and hurricanes form

Ink from the pen downpours, a story in each drop

Acid rain devours all life to a complete stop

Thunder and lightning clash and get hostile

Wits quick enough to keep it trapped in a bottle

Tsunamis of pages and books, rage against shores

Changing the landscape by way of waging a war

Avalanches catch debris of collapsing trees

Apocalyptic calamity and catastrophes

The entire planet’s on fire on my behalf

I can tear the sky in half when I attack

Fathered time and nurtured Mother Nature

In my element when I get creative on the paper
