@nine2fivestudio @BowsacNoodle @SuperSnekFriend I'm not well versed enough in study the poetry to give good advice nor do i know much about chinese elements, but here's my 2 cents.
For air, you could consider two broad "feels": something that evokes a more gentle atmosphere (pun intended) or the opposite approach where you focus evoking the more destructive aspects of gales and tornados and the like. For unrelated reasons I can't put my finger on, limericks also come to mind here.
For metal, my first thought is blacksmithing, which then conjures images of dwarves like in lord of the ring, which reminds me further of the song of durin. While it isn't quite the structure you mention it is straightforward and has clear structure which is metallic in some loose sense. I dotn have a recommendation here, just an unfinished thought.
For fire, I think a sestina might be interesting, where rhyme is not required bit there is still structure. My reason is that if you watch a flame burn and try to predict how different parts of it will move you will have a hard time, but as a whole the fire still has structure, it moves upwards as it burns and is guided by any wind that is around... Not sure about the others
