1. How many stanzas and lines are in the poem below?

Fluid sometimes hot sometime cold

You have been and existed on the planet
For billions of years we are told. One can
Only guess the number of years old.

You represent the symbol of freedom

And peacefulness for how freely you
Flow when there is nothing and no one
To hold you back even if you can be
Contained.

It can become a problem if you began

To overflow and con not be drained

In nature you start out as rain until

You fall to the ground and become a
Larger body vast is your expansion
You can stretch for miles are the planet

In some places you are more abundant than

Others. However when you do appear you
Are loved and valued like a best friend, sister or brother.
You are the only element that can take on many forms.
