A short poem..
#24
Quote:Hmm... I think I see what you mean... The 4th set is what you were refering to right? Where two more lines were added?

I had it all together, no spaces inbetween, but again I keep thinking that all poems are like that. ::sigh:: Well, I'm still learning.
What? I'm talking about meter; you know, iambs and trochees? Soft and strong stresses? What you wrote had a wildly inconsistent meter. Here's the scansion:

Quote:Fire's are lit,
Passions are aflame,
Lost spirits wander,
In search for a name;
strong/soft/soft/strong
strong/soft/strong/soft/strong
strong/strong/soft/strong/soft
soft/strong/strong/soft/strong

Quote:One from the earth,
One from the air,
Two find each other,
Lives their life without despair;
strong/strong/soft/strong
strong/strong/soft/strong
strong/strong/soft/strong/soft
strong/soft/strong/soft/strong/soft/strong

Quote:One from the water,
One from the clouds,
Helps out a wounded friend,
Cries in sadness, but without any doubt;
strong/strong/soft/strong/soft
strong/strong/soft/strong
strong/strong/soft/strong/soft/strong
strong/soft/strong/soft/strong/soft/strong/strong/soft/strong

Alright, I'm cutting this short, but do you get the idea?
