A furrow that's filling
Water, collective
Your face in the puddle
Water, reflective
A network of rivers
Water, connective
Your boat drifting downstream
Water, directive
A storm in the city
Water, objective
One drop on your eyelash
Water, selective

Poem: Wells
Water is too easy here,
grandma says.
Taps and toilets,
hoses and hydrants,
A quick twist, swish, rnu.
To appreciate water
you must work for it,
Pump, hoist, and haul.
Learn to love
the heft of the bucket
in your hands,
the weight of the cool jar
on your head.
Learn to understand
that water is the true treasure
of small villages and great cities.
Only then will you never squander
what is not yours to own.

Poem: How to Cross a Pond
You can swim
or you can float
on a raft
or on a boat.
You can skate
and you can row.
You can get
your dog to tow.
You can fly
if you're a hawk.
And in the winter
you can walk.
