all wet haiku
#winsh 10. Write 12 haiku about running water.
chill in summer’s heat
gentle creek sounds fill the air
children laugh and splasha waterfall sings
a song of conquering rocks
by going aroundyonder river says
my banks submit to my will
dreaming of spring thawwaves crest far away
the deep water hides dolphins
dreams of the oceanfeet planted in sand
tide tickles toes soft surround
sunk deeper- readyturn the faucet on
tub fills with steam and bubbles
relax and be freeanother foggy
morning- crawl in the shower
yay! now I’m awake!sink full of dishes
water eases tired hands
you’re soaking in ita boat on the lake
oars interrupt the silence
sending waves to shoregreen murky water
my girls playing at the dam
can’t get me in there!sweet water drips soft
into a warm day puddle
refreshes the earthsun forces its will
on the stubborn snowy ground
a melted riverHa. I can count and I can put words together.

Great wet haiku! Counting and putting words together r important skills.
wonderful. I love the river when it freezes, but spring thaw has a magic that is undeniable – as does your dish pan. Indeed, we’re all soaking in it.
I love number 4 and 9
and there you go. you did it. : ) congrats!
Now I have to pee!
You know, you could publish, too.. Just sayin’
excellent!!!
I love these. Gives me hope. I was intimated by number 10.
you must ask yourself
are you the oar or water
we may never know
@anth0nyc -
i can be both. (but
i simply cannot count a
nother word today.)
@C_L_O_G - if you can do foody haiku, you can do water haiku.

Jeez. I don’t have the creativity to write 12 haikus about one single thing.
Nicely done!
@Marica0701 - all i gotta say is thank goodness there are lots of ways to have water.
Water, oh water

The 8th one – Had to smile and think Palmolive! Very nicely done!!
Love the tub and the puddle. Great job!
I like these. Most made me think of warm spring and summer days, happy times.
Haikus are hard, they require counting AND word-making. Good job!
@leaflesstree - we cannot start thinking about spring and summer so early. sigh. too many months left in winter.
@songoftheheart - thanks
@murisopsis -
Green scummy water,
At peace with the pests who spawn
Menace us all with bites.
The blue lagoon man
Hardly moves much for moola
Rushes work to sleep.

Notice the similarities? They are not moving water.
@moniet - and a lovely comment too.
@PPhilip - thank you for your mosquitoes and lagoon man.

all that snow falling
the white and silent landscape
