I've been inspired by reading Marilyn Singer's poems these last two weeks and want to try writing poems that mirror a poem of which I am particularly enamored. Here's the poem.

What Water Can BeFor me this challenge will be all about finding the right adjectives for the poem's topic. I hope you'll join me. Leave me a note about your poem and I'll post the results here later this week.
(from How to Cross a Pond: poems about water)
A furrow that's filling
Water, collective
Your face in the puddle
Water, reflective
A network of rivers
Water, connective
Your boat drifting downstream
Water, directive
A storm in the city
Water, objective
One drop on your eyelash,
Water, selective
