Haiku and Tanka - 10. Water

Calm waters

Lapping at the shore

so I drift

glistening

faceted, frigid

an ice cube

Pelting, pouring down

a gushing flow effusing

everything with wet.

Snow capped mountains melt

and flow down to crowning peaks

rising and falling

gently sweeping evergreen

dreams to cerulean seas

winding, twisting streams

carving paths into granite

through the centuries

ghostly grey

hanging just above

chilling fog

From a coral throne

Poseidon directs ocean traffic

waving his trident

to and fro and up and down

causing the waves above

in cytoplasma

bringing life to all living

things - size withstanding

crystal shores

and diamond beaches

in my dreams

chilly wet

I hate the cold rain

ick water
