Sunday 160 in Blue
I’m able,
But unstable.
I evaporate,
I freeze,
I melt,
I sneeze.
I pour,
I flood,
I tear,
I bear fear.
I clean,
I turn trees green.
As water,
I really matter.

Very cool =)
Nice images. “I sneeze” ~ I think I’ve seen that many times living by the water!
Here’s mine: The Visit
As water, you certainly get around.
Vital and life giving. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160. Have a great weekend.
This is great–I really love it, Jingle!
Lots of love…
Excellent piece!
great poem.
wow, quick but with meaning and message!
Jingle,
I just love your clever tribute to that most important requirement for life. Water!
Eileen
Being water itself creates a poetic, dramatic self-portrait! Interesting!
You sure know a lot about water, are you a mermaid
And of course, water is the new ‘Blue Gold’ we take it for granted so much and yet, without it, everything would soon die. I myself think (the same as quite a few others with more brains that I have) that water is actually ‘alive’
Loving anything and everything to do with water, your prose is lovely.
I could use that to teach the water cycle. Wonderfully written.
I agree with Daydreamertoo.
Great one.
I like the way this poem builds to the last three lines, which pull it all together so well.
I like the simple fluidity…
niice !! i could not imagine water in so many a forms
You do indeed..
hugs xxx
ohhh! wow very nice
Water-the eternal elixir of life! You have rightly given it its lofty place.
This is really wonderful..just perfect!!
I like this one very, very much!

Love that blue.
Happy Blue Monday, Jingle.

Well said-I think you covered it all and really made me think~! Have a great week!
Wow…that was really fun to read Jingle
Great write.

Love this. Simple yet vivid.

“I turn trees green” (my favorite part). So nice!
Bravo! Enjoyed this very much. A simple piece, just like water, and yet so accurate and important, also just like water.

Wonderful! It can do and be so many things.

I think that was a lot of I’s! Very creative.
Very nice poem. Water really does have so many different sides and characteristics to it.
I THINK WE ARE RELATED.
XOXO,
j.
Very nice!
=)
Very cool poem! And it’s so true! Water is such an important thing in our lives that we take it for granted and waste it often. I heard that in the near future, fresh water would be scarcer than oil and that countries will fight over it. Scary, huh?
lovely!
Water is something we fight over here in the West usually, but right now we have wayyyyy too much of it!
Really nice
