Earthbound for water.
Air doesn’t care that it scares.
Fires get hotter.

This was jam-packed for such a little thing. Loved it. Very clever, Joe! Well done!
That was clever!
Lovely Haiku Joe.
I appreciate the fact that this is a bit mysterious and might have a deeper meaning to you. :)
working on understanding, Joe, but I am at a loss. 17 syllables and I do not get it. a little help? Your intention? You have 4 different elements tucked in one haiku so it is, understandably, scattered...at least to me. (for instance, I like the personification of air but how is it scary?)
well done, 😃
nicely done
This was concise and somehow warming.
