4. Elements – Water
Water an elemental
Water a fundamental
Building block of life
Water of Life
Water of Death
Water in all religions
Water in all living things
Water in all countries
Water also used for barter
No life without water
No rife with water
No respect for water
Willful neglect of water
Water, for cooking
Water, for cleaning
Water, for drinking
Water, for living
Water, for dying
Water is the same
In all languages
Water is the same
To all living beings

Cool Clear Water
Many a time i walked
A well beaten track
In my search for water
Cool clear water
It was hot and dry
The sun hung high
When i searched for water
Cool clear water
Mischief', the blue healer and i
Searched low and high
So we could taste the water
Cool clear water
The creek we found
Low in the ground
We bathed ourselves with water
Life giving water
Cool clear water
Death will come with the setting Sun
Without the taste of water
Cool clear, life giving water
Cool clear water
When life began we did arise
From the embrace of water
Cool clear water
Cool clear water

Water
Water washes over my hand
Water slips away like sand
Water trickles down a river
Water slides just like a slither
Water is patient and knows when to wait
Water doesn't mind if it shows up late
Water falls from the sky in tears
Water washes away all of my fears
Water can die and live again
Water can squash and pry and bend
Water has been here in the beginning,
and water will be here until the end
Water is reliable
Water is a humans friend

Vietnam Travel Haiku - Hanoi Municipal Water puppet theatre
water puppet theatre
our heart swings and swirls
with the water puppets
water puppet theatre
water gives life
to puppets
fluider than water
water puppets
Hanoi water puppet theatre
water puppet theatre
the water dances
with puppets
water puppet theatre
children ask to splash
in the water
water puppet theatre
streaming with life
puppets and water
water puppet theatre
a sea of legends
twirls and swirls
water puppet theatre
the water refuses
to die down
water puppet theatre
water keeps inviting
the puppets
water puppet theatre
audience mom plays with child
as if he is too a puppet
The water puppet theatre near Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi is worth every cent a watch. The show starts with traditional music performance after which puppets in the form of dragons, phoenixes, female dancers, fishes among others take their turns to dance, jump, hop, twirl and swirl over the water as they act out the legends of Vietnam. The
water seems to give so much life to the wooden puppets. It swings to the music and is the soul of the whole performance besides of course the pupeteers behind the bamboo screens also over the water.
