Joseph May Poet Rhyme

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
                        ----

Andrea Dietrich April 3, 2016 at 12:43 PM 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. Joseph May April 3, 2016 at 9:42 PM Thanks Andrea...the words are closely connected...best wishes
