The first task in Writing 210 is to create a poem on the theme of “Water”, either in Haiku or Tanka form and including a simile. I’ve chosen to use the Tanka form, with a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic pattern.
Water
The first raindrops fall
Welcome as a mother’s kiss
More precious than gold
Reviving the parched soul
Returning life to the land
