David, your poem has an aboriginal feel to it, the first nation people of Canada would write such a poem honoring the spirit of water, and thanking the ancestors, well done and thanks for visiting my poem, oh the grief ...

I would call it a form of Haiku. http://www.story-telling-around-the-world.com/My-Autumn-Haiku.html

"I checked out your website -- Awesome!! I received some criticism on some of my poems that I called a haiku, so I try to be a little more careful so as to not offend anyone. Thank-you for your visit. May you

Thank-you for sharing "Harsh Wind" with me -- she sounded like quite a lady . . . I loved all the Indian names. Strong is her spirit which flows now through you! May you always drink from the living water.

I doubt it David lol - my favourite moment was 2 yrs ago a very challenging child who I got on really well with saw me in school after the summer break - he came dashing over and tried to lift me up in a bearhug and said he'd missed me - that moment meant the world to me - I don't work with him this year - such a shame as I was able to get the best out of him:-) hugs jan xxx
