Chapter Six: Energy Quatrain

(Route) 66 (Route) 66

There was one more poem & poet left in the assembly: a girl named Marisol. She got up from her chair as the crowd was applauding her peer Kwame for reading a free verse about metal.

Meanwhile, Will was like soup in her chair. The redhead had the same feeling she did when she received the Heart of Kandrakar: she was the different one, the outsider that did not get an actual element, i.e. Earth, Fire, Water & Air. However, that's when she realized there was one more guest to recite one more poem, & that poem was probably about energy or wood, since they were both elements to some cultures, so her weights became a bit off her shoulders.

There were only eleven minutes left scheduled for the ceremony when Marisol arrived to her destination: the microphone. Speaking into it, she asked if anyone could quickly review what a quatrain poem was.

This time, Will raised her hand like she was trying to reach the sky, & sure enough the completely purple-attired Hispanic picked her.

Will smiled & answered with, "A quatrain is a poem with four or more lines of verse with a specific rhyming scheme, for example:

"Where the ground is eternally frozen,

Moose are populated by the dozen.

Where the arctic foxes play,

There is no such thing as a warm day."

Marisol obviously liked her answer since she too smiled & started her quatrain about a roman element: energy.

Anatomy of a Storm

During a warm summer day,

Dark clouds suddenly make way.

The leaves & branches sway on the tree,

& The wind blows like it's free.

Waves of water on the coast are a-rocking

& Thunder can be heard a-rumbling.

Rain pours down to the ground,

& Lightning can be seen striking without a sound.

The energy hits a brick & wood dwelling,

& Fire erupts where a family & mouse are living.

The storm goes on at the municipality

Until sun rays shines on the city.

Everyone applauded until Ms. Knickerbocker took charge of the microphone & announced how everyone would leave the auditorium. Now take care everyone, & watch your step as you leave.

End of Chapter Six & Elemental Poetry Slam
