WATER TANKA

                 Water in Kettle
                  Sadly settled, imprisoned
                  in closed container                                                                                             
                  When got boiled, escape
                 Through nozzle: Happy vapor.

                 Water in small Pond
                 enclosed by trees, shrubs, bushes,
                  play with their shadows.
                 Ducks and ducklings pick up mud
                 Little ripples hit green moss.    
                                                                                           
                Water in wide Lake
                  So cheerful in openness
                 Swift swans swim in glee.
                Water-Lily and Lotus 
                Spread pretty petals, broad leaves.
