An Expanded Haiku Theme: Water

Deonils
Expanding the haiku

I
Long ago I wrote
seventy percent of me
pushes me to sea

II
in my mother's womb
my first swimming lesson
hence my Ocean loves

III
coconut puzzle -
three worlds: skeleton ... flesh ... milk
just like my mother's

IV
thank you mother dearest
for loving Ganges, the Seas
Christ-like ebb and flow

V
flotsam and jetsam
pushed, recycled, shaped by Seas
primal ... keep pristine
