brainstorming for "the poet pleads with the elemental powers"

Below are my notations and brainstorming for the this poem. This poem has proven to be rather complicated due to the appearance of all four elements in the poem (though I may be forcing the "Earth" connection). Not only do I need to figure out what role these elements play; but the philisophical and physical implications of each element could prove very important. I then have to learn to combine all these differnet elements so that they form some sort of cohesive vision though which the poem can be viewed. Stay tuned for further discussion on Elemental Powers.
