13 Ways of Looking at Water

        1
The sun emerged from the clouds
and glowed upon the trees
as a droplet of water
fell off a leaf.
        2
My mind began to wander
as water wandering
down a winding stream.
         3
Life drenched in the cool wetness
of hydration.
         4
Woe to the man who does not turn
from his wicked ways,
for the Lord Almighty will send
the floodwaters against him.
         5
As sparkling as diamonds.
         6
The captain was tossed to and fro
upon his ship
by the roaring waves of the sea
and feared he may never prevail
over those loathsome pirates.
         7
I drink from the water
of the river and my thirst
for knowledge and wisdom is quenched.
         8
The storm clouds in the distance
warn of the coming of the dark
and gloomy waters of rain.
         9
My precious water bottle holds
32 ounces of temporary comfort.
         10
The surface tension of water is the property that makes it form in droplets caused by the dipole-dipole forces of the water molecules which consist of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms.
         11
The sun warms the days,
and the water rises.
         12
The water
precipitates, evaporates, condensates
and continues on,
never ceasing.
         13
The children run through the snow
and past the bare trees,
jumping and laughing,
with melted snowflake droplets
kissing their eyelashes.
