THE 5-ELEMENTS GUIDELINES

Welcome in :iconthe-5elements:


Since every group needs them, here are our rules.

:bulletred: We accept images (photos, manipulations, drawings, paintings) and words (poetry, prose, etc). Words : The texts submitted must be in English and/or French. Other languages are welcome, but with a translation in French or in English below.The moderators must be able to understand what is written.

:bulletblue: This group is dedicated to the 5 classical elements. It can be literal or metaphorical, so portraits and poetry - emotional or not- related with the elements are welcome!

:bulletwhite: Seven (7) deviations per week per person for all folders (except for the "words" folder which are limited to one (1) deviation per day), all deviations are subject to vote. It doesn't need to be "the best of the best of the best", but any proposed art must be completed and of good quality. Please submit in the correct folder, your submission will be rejected if you don't. If we have declined it, you can also ask why and we will gladly explain the reasons as to why we couldn't accept it. Please remember, the art is critiqued, not you.

:bulletgreen: Nudes are allowed, if related to the elements. No pornography, no racism, etc. And courtesy, of course, is a must. This point is of the utmost importance.

:bulletblack: Two folders are named "Dark Matter" (Images and words). The world of the dead - the underworld - is for us a part of the 5 elements. These folders are for your darker work.

:bulletpurple: This is not a pagan group. Pagans are welcome as are monotheists, atheists, agnostics and everyone else in between! As long as your work fits our themes: The 5 Elements and the darker side of life.

Have fun with the beauty of the elements and its underworld!

lovecraft's oceansometimes i drown in memories 
of bathymetric echoes
and those mad gods
vomiting up litanies and minerals
to tremble
poised and lethal
in the deep.
and darling there are
s t a r s
down there in the dark
in the space stirred only by those pale ghosts
and spinning galaxies
and i need to be
home again.
i need the salt on my tongue
in my lungs
and the mortality snowing down
grey drifts of whalebone and squidflesh
f a l l i n g
to that last
enveloping
embrace.
and i will never stop loving the ocean
because our deepest love is reserved for our deepest fears.
NymphTranslucent as
a dragonfly wing—
your hair fans
in the water, and
the sun bleeds.

:skull: Dark MotherBleed your colors to the ground,
let them swirl in the vortex of your breath.
The gathering chill escaped from your lungs
whispers the green earth into death.

Dark Mother, keep the spirits
you hold within your hands.
Souls eternally bidden,
soaked and seeped into the land.
Dark Mother, keep your fury
quivering deep within the ground.
Harm us not, but let us hear
the power of that sound.
The wheel is turning, always turning
as the sun falls from the sky.
Mother can you tell me,
oh can't you tell me why?
Dark Mother, stir your cauldron
deep living waters of rebirth.
Wash clean this wretched wreckage
we have wreaked upon the earth.
Dark Mother, shall we reap
all that we have sown?
When spring returns will you be there?
to light our path toward home?
The wheel is turning, always turning
as the seasons slowly die.
Mother can you tell me,
oh can't you tell me why?
Will you exhale a merciful breath,
to warm our world once more?
Or stop the wheel from turning,

leave us trappe
The clear resonance of the empty North(A title-poem // see the comment)

This morning, in the land of war,
the sky is clear and cold;
in a mild-winter, perhaps purgatory,
I wear the scent of blood in little white dresses.
Before the stars faded in the wispering silences,
a mouthfull of sky - with empathy for the lovers -
found me before I knew
la rêverie océane.

Thy pale death, o day, enchants me not.

Dark Mother, Aristotle got it right:
no temple for Euridice  
sous les neiges éternelles,
full moon, ethereal
ashes
- they will always charm, I’m sure
on receipt of dead love.

Blue like a winter sky,
eternity comes of ether and animosity;
sweet nothings on
vikings shore
