Mohan Chutani Poet Triolet

Out of Water

Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain 
Deep in unexplored, aquatic world 
Poisons and chemicals in it we drain  
Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain 
Nature tries to recycle to clean again 
Lest its delicate balance be twirled 
Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain 
Deep in unexplored, aquatic world 

We will next fight over water
Predict the sane and wise among us
Its shortage is now fact of the matter
We will next fight over water
Make the earth red with slaughter
Like animals if we continue to fuss 
We will next fight over water
Predict the sane and wise among us

Paul Callus April 5, 2015 at 7:53 AM Excellent use of the Triolet form, Mohan. Water is a giver of life, without it we are doomed. We have to look after it; nature treats us well, as long as we reciprocate. Congrats on your deserved podium win. // paul
