let's make poems out of cliches...
make every one worthy of praise
statements we hear every day
so we can follow what they say
and rhyming every line with "you"
is just what artists have to do
There's really not much else to choose
Because no one wants to hear new news
Birds of a feather plummet together
When both are struck out with one stone
Mother knows best,
But we laid her to rest
On the day that I built Rome...

Deliciously tasteless!
Water is a nice metaphor. You must have been pretty thirsty to attempt such a piece; satisfying moisture with a salinity that keeps you coming back for more? Don't you know that's bad for your kidneys?
But I digress, water is only part of the beauty of this poem. But it is liquid life, driving us, sustaining us, and generating gamete fluids that keep the whole process going.
A beautiful concoction of nature, sex, and chemistry. You remind me that they're all kind of the same thing.
Hope to be sea-ing moor of you
