Wild River

Peacefully staying in her banked walls during warm days of spring and summer, she surges in a savage rage in November, spurning man's feeble efforts to rein her wildness, she tumbles across the fertile land. Nature bows down to the wild river.

Dear Joyce, I'm sorry I missed this one earlier. No man can match the power of the "wild river" you describe so powerfully here. Congratulations on your win! Love you, Carolyn

Hi Joyce, please accept my congratulations for a gem of a poem! I have experienced wild rivers before and was glad to escape the "savage rage." Thank you for bringing this one so skillfully to life with your magical pen!
