earth air fire water

I.
 
earth beneath our feet 
down winding roads we travel 
leading us all home
 
II.
 
air flows through our hair 
on summer road getaways 
feeling young again
 
III.
 
fire consuming all 
barren path where trees once stood
smoke hinders our sight
 
IV.
 
cool ocean waters 
our bodies float with currents 
under clear blue sky
 
 
- Inspired by dVerse Tuesday Poetics - the four elements

    Love these haiku - there's a feel of a journey here, too. I love the relief of water at the end.

    A delightful quartet! I enjoyed all the movement, and I agree with Sarah about it being a journey – or a road trip.

    I enjoyed each haiku and the common theme of motion and travel. Beautiful.

    Nicely done. Using haiku was a good way to respond to the prompt.
