		Glinting off the waterfall above,
is the morning suns warm glow.
charging the water with energy of a new day
so it can sustain the creatures below.
And to think, 
it comes from a penis.

Dirty poems are as difficult to write well as any other. This reads clumsy and rushed. It's a no from me.

		Reasons why this one doesn’t work:
1) the last line is supposed to be a revelation, but the spoiler is in the title
2) that revelation is the only point about the poem. The line “charging the water” etc doesn’t make se sense as sunlight doesn’t recharge urine to “sustain the creatures below” - there is humorous hyperbole, but this one is just all over the place - much like the subject of the poem.
3) the revelation itself is hardly remarkable. Jokes about poop and piss can be funny,  but this is neither funny nor epiphanic.

		Was a bit rushed to be honest. I wanted to stretch it out long as I could to subvert expectation and then end with the penis thing.
Couldn't find a way to make filler stuff though so I just kinda shat this one out to see how it would do.
