A Bookworm Named Water

she is not water
but a bookworm named water

book
her food

water
her drink

knowledge
her power

she is shuier
a bookworm named water

P.S. This little fun poem was inspired by one of my blog friends' web ID: shuier, which is the Chinese phonetic alphabet for 水儿 (water).

回复 'renqiulan' 的评论 : "when we are water, no one can dry up our drips", that's so true and touching ... Water makes tears when people are touched by the words full of water power, that's how I feel about your comments. Thank you 秋兰君, take care.

一杯水，一首诗。点滴心头，长记心中。小西保重！

Every word in your poem is a drip. Speaking of which, when we are water, no one can dry up our drips, if you know what I mean. Farewell 小西!

平水韵五绝赠小西：

谁听子规啼？
书航入梦迷。
抱真方觉醒，
明月小楼西。

Here I am, a bookworm going by the name of Water. Water, when mixed with all impossible dreams, will turn into wine on which I am now drunk.

Yes, books are my soul food.

Yes, books are the light of my life.

Yes, Your poem touches me deep inside.

Yes, between the lines of your poem I am flowing like a river.

Yes, flowing non-stop, no river can be the same river twice.

Yes, flowing non-stop, I am water that is changing the face of the earth.

Be water that is adept at finding a way forward.

Water knows gravity well. That's why water is a ground-breaking force.

Plain language gets your message across, and you have a nice message for everyone while everyone is unique. That's the power of your poetry.
