immersed in water
luxuriously suspended in space
cut off from the entire breathing human race
reflecting on water
so much to consider
when water as commodity goes to the highest bidder
tumbling in water
battered by an abused life giving sea
will i survive this wave crunching of me?
drinking any water
found on a scorching day
too many of these are making the earth pay
freezing in water
a break in the ice
i pull myself up, but just fall in twice
drawing down water
bought for the farm
having to buy water represents harm
a well full of water
a sense of security
an empty well brings fear to my family
river bed water
evaporates into the air
when will i see it again? i can’t up there
everywhere water
after drought comes flooding rain
our homes went under last year, then again and again
methane in the water
turn the tap and it burns
fracking structural layers causes geological churn
water suspension
plastic on every scale
next on the weather agenda - plastic hail
toxic water
neutralises fishing skills
no good fisherman can live on massive fish kills
ocean water
systems anchor for the world
danger warning flags ignored although they’ve been unfurled
wars over water
beginning and the end
is your water consuming neighbour enemy or friend?
drowning in water issues
battling exhaustion
this marks the end of my allocated portion
My first attempt at responding to David’s W3 where PoW Sylvia Cognac’s prompt is “water”

Ommigosh, Sean… This is all so… real… And so much of it is so… terrible… I mean the poem itself is fantastic – but, wow, it really makes me cringe multiple times throughout my readings of it!
Sincerely,
David

it is a scary time. i wish i could write poetry that would make a difference. wouldn’t it be nice if we poets could collaborate on a “save the planet” work? i would like to coordinate that. btw, for some reason i am having trouble posting comments on skepticskaddish. i love what you do and would like to be a more supportive presence. i can’t work out the problem – any ideas?

😓 I honestly don’t know, Sean…. do you look at it through the WP reader?
