Water

Blizzards howl outside
Inside, families enjoy
Steaming stewed sea prunes

Earth

Rains shower the earth
The world softens and turns green
Earth benders bend mud

Fire

The dragon burns hot
The summer sun burns hotter
The heart burns hottest

Air

Red gold leaves rustle
Monks pray underneath the trees
The cool wind is still

Peace

Abandoned armor
Girds a scarecrow guarding squash
Battle once raged here
