When huge waves like tsunami approach monsoons lash the heart creating panic...how then he dares to swim...beware of another tsunami..this piece is ambiguous and applicable to experiences in human life otherwise too...great thought..great wording..'water thoughts' is very different

Sandra, You gripped me with your water words. I feel water has a pull and a push of immense intensity. I like how you have made these into a triplet. The have been so skilfully written! 10 Karin Anderson

This is a delightful and well exressed senryu triplet, Sandra. In the third poem, the middle line has only six syllables-easily remedied by adding the word 'deep' like this: 'miles of clear deep blue waters.' Not only that, but the word deep gives that final line a bit more of an impact as well. Carl.

I am a swimmer and i love the sea, the water.Our ancestral home is near the sea. Better for the one who's afraid is to know how to swim and be acquainted..LOL. Lovely words..I love this

actually water can cause fear, whether we can swim or not.it can get realy fierce and so your poem is a very good depiction of that fierceness.
