Elemental Weerawila

Earth:
Dam
harvest-besting
parchness
break heart cracks.
Water:
Life
color candy
hope sweller
in rise after fall.
Wind:
Cloud verse
swish-promise
of better times
held in imminent sky.
Fire:
Sets,
sets fire
withdraws
burns and gives.


 

[Inspired by the poetry of Hiranya Malwatte]

  1. Dear Mr. Seneviratne,
    I wrote to you on your email account listed on this blog, inquiring if your collection titled 'Epistles' can be accessed? There was no response.

  2. It was published in 1999. I didn't sell any copies. The Library Services Board distributed some to various libraries. I just gifted them to people who I thought might be interested. I have a few left. Email me: msenevira@gmail.com and I will get back to you.
