Elements of Love

Timothy D. Clark 1975

Free verse
I am like fire, I can be the warmth that you need.
I am like the wind, I am swift but gentle.
I am like the water, I can carry you anywhere you wish to go.
I am like the earth, I can grow and change over time, and age with great wisdom.
I am like the sun, I will always brighten up your day and shine brighter than any man.
I am your man, I shall dedicate to you more love and compassion of that of any man.

    This poem is absolutely beautiful! It's full of imagery and metaphors that make the reader feel so warm and inspired. I love how you compare yourself to different elements of nature - fire, wind, water, earth, and the sun. It's a really unique way to describe your qualities and personality.

    I can definitely see how this poem would make anyone feel loved and cherished. Your dedication to providing more love and compassion than any other man is truly heartwarming.

    In terms of improvement suggestions, I would love to see more specific examples of how you plan to dedicate yourself to your loved one. Maybe you could add some specific actions that you would take to show your love and compassion.

    Overall, fantastic job on this poem. Keep up the great work!
