Still Water

 

 

 

 

 

WATER:

 

It is all around

We are made up of 70% of it

It is the bringer of life

Nurtures us

Is a force of Nature

and how we are born

Now take a sip

a gulp

and run with it

 

 

all you have to do is write!



 

There are BIG POINTS here,

So please don't post cliched stuff

use your imagination, imagery and metaphor

 




 

RULES:

 

 

Left align

No line limit

No word Limit

If you feel the need to rhyme, then make it good

If you use form poetry, then make it work

Check for spelling mistakes and punctuation errors

 

Please take your time to post!

 

 



 

REMEMBER, STILL WATERS RUN DEEP
