Waves and flames.
Opposites,
Yet a composed harmony.
Nature in tune
Never and forever.
Mortal enemies
But thrive side by side.
Waves and flames.

This is very clean and effective. The contrasts are clear from the beginning, and I like ow it all sort of loops around at the end. Keep writing!

Simple, but strong. Love it. I like the duality about it, and the relationship between two opposite but harmonious things. 5/5 :)

Don't fret. Insane poems are the best. I like how these two opposite forces of nature work in harmony in this poem. I like the rhythm of it. Nicely done.

Ill be completely honest and say I was unure on if this poem was amazing or insane, but I've gotten amazing reviews, ratings, etc. on this one and now I'm super excited about it. You have a really cool outlook on it. Thanks!

I think it flows very well and I like how the two forces are equal while other nature poems tend to show fire as either weak or evil
