Suddenly it fell me in,'Out of the blue',another expression. An Enriqeau.

(Speak out as 'Enrico'.) Undoubtedly triggered by something but very unconsciously. The most important conditions for the poem came to mind first,namely; The 4 elements (earth,Air,water and Fire) must play a role. My name (on Yoors) combined with the French word for the element 'water' together make the name 'Enriqeau'. #enriqeau

What should an Enriqeau meet?

2 Things I find important here; First of all,within this poem one must have much poetic freedom. Secondly,I think it can be quite spicy and challenging. One thing doesn't rule out the other,and once you figure it out,it's good to do. With a number of examples you get a better idea of it so I post it in this blog. Below are the conditions first. There is 1 change; The word “fiery” or any other form of it (fiery,fiery) is allowed. Linguistically it should not be because one you are lost but in the pronunciation you can still hear the complete word 'Fire'. And also because 'watery' and 'light-hearted' is allowed. “Kind “,“earth “or “nature “,remain excluded.

  1. The poem has at least 4 sentences and always an even number. (So 4 sentences or 6,8,10,etc.)

  2. Use at least 1 element per 2 sentences. (elements are:Earth,Air,waterandFire.'land' or 'land' for example,are not elements. They may be in there but not to replace)

  3. The word may not be split,even by putting letters in parentheses,eg: 'nature (ig) e'. but are processed in a word. (See examples.)

  4. You use the elements in any combination you want. (Eg. 3x water and 1x Air)
  5. You don't necessarily have to rhyme with this word,you can also use another word. Rhythm in itself is not a hard requirement.
  6. The element may also be in another language,e.g. 'eau' (Fr.) or 'Fire' (English.) butno different languages in one poem.
  7. You can also combine an Enriqeau with another poem with an even number of sentences.

I think I have the most important conditions first. The bold letters are the absolute prerequisites,the rest are mostly liberties. Also look at the examples to understand the meaning. There is of course a lot of 'leeway space' and there are plenty of possibilities. So below I will show a small number of them. For the sake of clarity,I will give the elements a color,but of course that is not necessary.
