DAY 26~WATER POEM

For today’s prompt, write a water poem. Life depends upon water, so there are any number of ways to write this prompt. A few thoughts that jump to mind include pollution, rising water levels, hurricanes, fracking, and more.

PRECIOUS WATERS
By John Yeo

The frozen ice on the mountain peak
Began to thaw and flow down
A trickle at first. then a tiny stream.
Then a flood cutting through the rock
A life-giving force on the move.

Cataracts and rivulets, snaking through
Mountain passes and steep stark canyons
Bringing the clear precious waters
To the arid parched plains below.
A life-giving force on the move.

Water the essence of life,
Flowing sustenance for cultivation,
Mighty rivers of moving life
Bringing the life-blood to the land
A life-giving force on the move.

Great rain-forests taking nourishment
From the pure clear rain,
In the rising sun-kissed clouds.
The essence of the life explosion,
A life-giving force on the move.

The river of life-filled liquid,
Races, then lazily rolls along.
An unstoppable flood of beauty
Flooding to join the clear blue sea.
A life-giving force on the move.
