Paracelsus Knew

A Quadru-Haiku

By Robert WalshPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Gnomes beneath the earth,

Guarding their precious gemstones,

Paracelsus knew,

Undine in the springs,

Yearning for a mortal's love,

Paracelsus knew,

Sylphs invisible,

Listening to the wind blow,

Paracelsus knew,

Salamanders glow,

Sleeping in their burning logs,

Paracelsus knew.
