warm weather thaw
spring is winter’s changeling child
ice water gurgling
Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s “yukidoke” (thaw) theme.

imprisoned in glass
water still trickles beneath
brittle icicles
scrub, dub, tubby time

An “American sentence” is simplicity in seventeen syllables 😉
Grandsons playing outside on farm all day make us grateful for water!

-linked with Marina’s pesky questions prompt at d’Verse
if asked introspective questions
who are you? whom do you love?
i naturally respond with my name:
“lynn” (English) means “refreshing stream, waterfall”
i am like water in its various forms: vapor, liquid, solid–
cumulus cloud reflecting heaven’s
brightness or darkly brooding until
rain falls in myriad of droplets collecting
into rivulets of cascading laughter to flow
into clear mountain lake, mirror calm, until
stirred to frothy whitecaps by life’s winds;
as solid iceberg exposes only tip, in time
glacial ice will melt to join eternal sea
who i was, am, will be… changing and yet in essence, still me
let me live up to my name, to be poured out and refresh others
offering a drink of life-giving water from my well
yet i am also thirsty, needing refreshment myself…
perhaps best answer is NOT who i love but Who loves me?
i will joyfully sing, “all my fountains are in you!”
thirst no more

water washing clean- a sign
overflowing cup is mine
miracle of his design
grafted fruit of father’s vine
spirit-pressed agape wine
