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 水兒 (water).

一杯水，一首詩。點滴心頭，長記心中。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!

誰聽子規啼？
書航入夢迷。
抱真方覺醒，
明月小樓西。

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.
