Water, water, where art thou?
Just enought to wet the towel.
Pray for rain to fill the well
Use scented soap to kill the smell.
An ocean full, not a drop to drink.
Salt water fills the kitchen sink.
We'd like to know
that the grass
we're mowing
Is ahead of the algae
in the toilet tank growing.
Take our time in the tub soaking
Lke frogs after a rain we'd be croaking
It won't be long
The pipe line is coming
Then we can start replacing the plumbing.

Poetry: Water
May life flow from water into eternity
Molding and shaping, making seas
Holding, creating new you’s and me’s
God's water in a dry land
As the sun set across the land. It reached down to kiss the sand.
There was no water
by Erin Yorke
Cleanser, life-giver
Mud-maker, destroyer
Saviour or Slayer
Placental Ocean,
For what is our birth?
Can't live without it,
Can't
by Jerry Curtis
I am the giver of life, bringer of death, the ingredient of primordial soup
From whence the first tadpole emerged
Half in
Water
Memories are like water
Elusive, crystal clear, and bitterly
Dark at times.
Some are delicate and,
Often slip through
