Oh wow, didn't know you wrote poetry.
I must say that your style is exquisite. I have to admire the Limerick A,A,B,B,A rhyme scheme. It keeps the metre nicely upbeat and flowing but doesn't take away from the dramatic imagery by any means.
Love the lyrical personification too, particularly at the end of "Wind." There's also a sense of dedication and praise in each of the short poems too, which I also liked-("May your glorious gifts never come to an end").
Fire has to be my definite favourite though- ("Pierce the curtain of eternal night"- stunningly striking). Earth was a good one to end with though; particularly as the ending of the final stanza is so mysterious and let's the reader think about what stories the earth actually might know.
What's best about these poems though, to me, is that you've taken each element and sculpted each of these forces of nature into your own characters, subtly giving them each their own "personalities" and describing how they interact with us mere mortals.
Overall, great work!
