That Fifth Element

Poetry: that fifth element: essential for human eyes to read, human ears to hear, and human hearts and souls to feel. Four elements as envisioned by Linda Imbler within poetry's arc: from the myth of Theros to the reality of tornadoes [Air,] within the depths of despair at the loss of flood victims to the beautiful imaginativeness that can develop while watching clouds [Water,] following the trail from horrible domestic violence to paranormality [Fire,] seeking truth about a present day metaphorical earthquake or the theory of a future apocalyptic world [Earth].
