Ciao Sugarray!

So sweet and entertaining to watch.

I would love to have a small drinking bowl big enough for birds to take a dip but I have a neighbourhood full of cats. (sigh)

These tiny critters in Summer can get easily dehydrated.

A delightful pic!

This haiku, Sparkling, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, reminds us, as if we needed it, just how precious and important that water is to our very lives. .................

Excellent entry for the Haiku Poem writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

A truly magical photograph and what would we do without thirst quenching water? A fine tribute to the joys of water and its uses in our homes and gardens, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

In very few words and very descriptive words you really bring much imagery to the reader. Water is certainly a gift and we should make sure all people have access to fresh water in our world. I enjoyed your poem. best wishes!
