Glisten

Before the river melds itself with sea, it glistens as a rippling mountain stream and starts its course with purest quality. Before the river melds itself with sea, it runs along, fulfilling destiny. Our course is also brief; give forth your beam! Before the river melds itself with sea, it glistens as a rippling mountain stream.

This is an amazing triolet completely unhindered by the style. Every word in its spot as if it were free verse. Just excellent!

Excellent, Looks like we tied again! But yes I've been slightly busy. Just trying to get my life organized like usual. Sometimes it comes so easy, then other times you don't even know where to begin. Hope to hear back soon. Good job in the contest.

Fine nature poetry! I feel like getting out of the city and seeing streams such as you mentioned. Yesterday I entered a poem in a contest run by Tiferet magazine. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

The comparison is beautiful - how the life form meets eternity, Hey! am doing o.k. Son, Arthur, is having bi-polar problems at present. He has always lived on the edge. Once in awhile he slips over. He just finished doing a recording with The Grateful Dead. He was probably right at home. Me? Nothing life threatening, just a whole bunch of little stuff - everything happening at once
