What am I?

I drink the blood of the Earth,
and the trees fear my roar,
yet a man may hold me in his hands.

I am a chainsaw.


I am the yellow hem
of the sea's blue skirt.

I am sand on a beach.


The Moon is my father,
the Sea is my mother;
I have a million brothers,
I die when I reach land.

I am a wave on the ocean.


What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes
And yet never grows?

I am a mountain.


My step is slow, the snow's my breath
I give the ground, a grinding death
My marching, makes an end of me
Slain by sun, or drowned in sea.

I am a glacier.

    Cool poem genre...I'm sure it has a genre name, but w/e it is, I like.

    "I am a chainsaw." My favorite line. No need for explanation, you know I like my weapons! Make me feel all manly...HAHAH

    "the snow's my breath" Amazing line. Seriously.
    "Slain by sun" Really nice. And true...because glaciers melt, baby!
