                         Poems       Water, water everywhere

 

by Meish Goldish, 101 Science Poems & Songs for Young Learners, Instructor Books

Water, water everywhere, water all around,
Water in the ocean, water in the ground.
Water in a river, water in a creek,
Water in a faucet with a drip-drip leak!
Water in a fountain, water in a lake,
Water on a flower, as day begins to break.
Water from a waterfall, rushing down from high,
Water from a dark cloud, raining from the sky.
Water boiling hot, water frozen ice,
Water in a blue lagoon, clean and clear and nice.
Water at a fire, gushing through a hose,
Water in a garden, so every flower grows.
Water for the animals swimming in the sea,
Water, water everywhere for you and for me!

The Water Cycle

Helen H. Moore

When I was young
I used to think
that water came from
the kitchen sink.

But now I’m older,
and I know,
that water comes
from rain and snow.

It stays there, waiting,
in the sky,
in clouds above
our world so high.

And when it falls,
it flows along,
and splashes out
a watery song,

as each raindrop
is joined by more
and rushes to
the ocean shore,

or to a lake,
a brook, a stream,
from which it rises,
just like steam.

But while it’s down here
what do you think?
Some DOES go to
the kitchen sink!

 Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
