The Power of Water

Prompt for January 14th

Looking over Marina Del Ray towards shore — Image by the author, October 26, 2017

Years ago, I saw a presentation about the power of water. It can wear away rocks, it can move the shoreline. It can revive a field of crops. It can quench the thirst of a desert. A single drop may not seem very powerful, but many of those drops falling in the same place over time can wear away almost anything.

A tub of warm water can relax you and get you ready to sleep. A shower can wake you up in the morning. There isn’t much we eat that doesn’t have some water in it — the water in our bodies requires it. A tall glass of water can be someone wonderful looking, but a cold glass of water can kill inspiration.

Looking for ideas on the power of water? Here’s what I came up with!

The prompt for Tuesday January 14th, 2020 is all about the power of water. Poetry, photo essays, essays, stories.. send them our way!

Please be sure to give your piece the tag “Power of Water”. The other four tags can be anything you wish.
