Water

life without water could not ever be sustained thank the spring showers water cascades... rain distilled... early morning dew winter confetti no water... no frogs deathly silence... then it rained the sound of splashes all life dependent some dance for water... it rains sustaining splashes the shape of water drips in profusion... shapes rain land submerged... flooding the shape of water precipitation... shapes rain land submerged... flooding water... anhydrous nature now fickle... confused life... it has no choice clean water... yes clean stop polluting... life's dying each spring... disasters LIFE oceans...earth's mirrors past images... memorised of life... fossilised ...

wow, the rhyming one at the bottom really rocks, Mick!! I love that one best. Also I found the phrase "winter confetti" so charming!! A nice string of haiku

I knew after seeing some of the water haiku's that you would have difficulty choosing .I hope it didn't give you a headache lol. Great contest Mick, well done.

No, it wasn't easy, except for the obvious, but having said that they were all exceptionally good just some did not get through based on caps, punct. and not fitting the theme from my point of view. Next one is up and I am looking forward to it... Mick
