Premium Member The Lonesome Ballad of H2O
The Ballad of H2O (International Version) He reached his boiling point at one hundred degrees. When he dropped to zero, he would freeze. Everything he did, he did just like he oughter, (in Centigrade) - that's water! The Ballad of H2O (US Version) Arriving at two-twelve Fahrenheit, his roiling bubbles gave steaming flight, but descending South to thirty-two, he froze in his...

Premium Member Portrait Of A Wave
Waves shape the sound of soaring sea Ride the tides of what ought to be Layer on layer out of reach Breaking breakers bound on our beach Stirring swirls make clear waters curl Rolling rumblings leap to unfurl Watery spritz that twist then sway As bubbled foam pulls back away Each wave differing grasping high Trying to touch the spacious sky Dreams drenched in schemes...

Premium Member Houseboat
Lucid refractions prance in this day's gloaming Window panes sway in play to each heave and hoe Stirred by haunting echoes of distant loons wailing My gaze awakens in sheets that float her still to and fro Shimmering, the surface murmurs...Take the Plunge A primal beckoning that whispers to us each by name Push the door, step up to the dock's...

Premium Member Lost And Found
The morning woods were crackling with unknown sounds. Then I heard a rustling sound in the leaves. The sound of footsteps was getting louder, It wasn’t a something, it was someone. Suddenly a large man fell to the ground. His leg was bleeding; all he said was “trap”. Cool water from my canteen brought him back. A small trap, it hadn’t broken...

GLOBAL WARMING

Steady the float
Here rest my oars. A killick thrown to the school of fishes, To still my boat from the peering waves. Fishy-wishy scatter as water splatters, Like wood chips flying when the pickaxe strikes. A ship draws near, but my killick blocks its kiss— Its stale mouth might stagger my rest, And send my gathered fish fleeing the net. Much of the mud my...

Premium Member Just a Slip of Tongue
A runner plagued by endless thirst, tried all manner of things to end the curse. A camel bag or bottle slowed his pace. His yen for simple, lasting relief, became a race - Relentless! Seeing smooth pebbles in the bed of a stream, he took a pea-sized one; stowing it under his tongue. His saliva flowed; his thirst was gone, up-aweigh! Until the...
