About This Poem

River's Birth

Vernal hills collect God’s tears
Torrents surge to shower’s edge
Pooling life’s essence begins
Life’s highway is born

Entry for John Freeman's Contest

    Shawn, everything is quite descriptive. Your second line has one too many syllables. A suggestion: how about replacing "towards" with "to"? That will bring the line down to seven syllables.
