The Sprinkler

THE SPRINKLER  

Moving hoses
           Of flowing,
                   Flowering,
                             Movement.
Running in rills to troughs of sand,
Pressing passages through the stones.
Pools well with
         gurgles
                  splashes,
Thundering falls with mist skirts
            of pearls strung
                     on summer breezes.

this is so poetic! i love your use of alliteration ("running in rills" is just great!) and the picture you've so perfectly painted.
