The Delicate One

Water

Dribbles

Trickles

Rickles

Burbles

And gurgles

Euphonic as it is

It is a set of organic sound effects

***

Colorless

Odorless

Tasteless

And priceless

Simple as it is

Waterless means no pleasure

***

I drink

I bath

I shower

I swim

And I dive

But precious as it is

It shouldn’t be taken for artifacts

***

Washed

Cooked

Flushed

Watered

And rinsed

Candid as it is

Water is the essence of hygiene and care

***

Boiling

Bubbling

Slurping

lapping

And Gargling

Water, fire, and air produce perfect mashups

The burping time is therefore near

***

Drips

Roars

Sprinkles

Crashes

And Splashes

Sometimes it seems lethargic

Though its appearance isn’t effectless

***

Humid

Wet

Moist

Damp

And soaked

Water can be sweet, bitter, sour, and more

But with no water there’s no affair
