Notes About The Poem

Elemental in water form, taking on a human shape.

- Haiku X 123 - Water -

Small drops ... mouth running
                            molecules in the bottle
                          Moan of blood and sweat

A wonderful Haiku Anne-Lise, and the image enhances, without taking away anything the words portray. Good luck in the contest....Maria xxx

Hello Anne-Lise, This is a brilliantly-done Haiku!! Each word in each verse has its place, and forms a perfect word picture which is further enhanced by the photo image (above) of rising hand of water. A superb setting for sure!! A FAVE!! Best Wishes, Gary
