Power,
Strength,
All is mine.
No one knows the ground you walk
Better than I.
The world you see is mine,
For I can contol it.
You see a simple blade of grass or a pebble,
I see beauty.

The World is misunderstood.
Only I can understand
The true nature of a tree,
The absolute beauty of a flower,
Or the incredible strength of a forest.

I am a Nurturer.
I grow for the beauty of the world
And for the sake if it.
I am the Earthbender.

The author's comments:
This is based on the show and new movie Avater: The Last Airbender. I started writing these poems because in a story I am writing, I have characters that can control the elements and I wrote these poems as a way to help me get the right feel for each different type of element "bending". Also, the term "bender", I do not own. i just could not find another way to describe the power of controlling the elements.
