The following was written by the Science folks and me during Kaili's presentation on biopoems. Hope you enjoy!
Water,
You clingy, clannish, slippery
Dissolver of nearly anything!
Progeny of H & O,
Lover of yourself and others and
Other polar and charged things!
Who feels hot and steamy,
Yet cold as ice,
All the while expanding while others shrink away.
Who needs the sun to stay clean,
Gravity to come back down.
I fear you too, you hydrophobe!
Fear you like lipids and oil.
Oh, water! Giver of life who slakes thirst!
Who would like to see the respect it deserves,
The icy poles protected.
Residence of the bottom of the ocean,
The top of the sky.
Ah, water.
