Water

Once used by God to destroy the world It's power and fury with destruction swirled But Noah's ark was impermeable to the rain that prevailed And through the raging waters he sailed Chemically known as H2O A requisite for flowers to grow Precipitation comes as either rain or snow And after the rain behold the rainbow Water gives a flower rejuvenation And we need it daily for hydration When H2O freezes crystallization takes place In places arid and desolate Lack of this liquid will dehydrate you You'll need a drink of water to invigorate Cooling and soothing like morning dew ---- 4/3/16

a great tribute for water, joseph. I was really looking forward to doing a water poem until I saw he asked for certain words to be used. Maybe I will try it. I don't know. Anyway, good luck to you. I see that contest is starting to get more entries now.
