Rippling Refrain

Written: August 5, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud

                ***********

River,
rippling refrain,
rushing, rolling, revived,
ribbons of rain rearranging
rocks, roots, reflections — reckless, radiant.
Rivulets ripple, ringing rhythms
resound, reaching, reeling
rousing rare range —
River.

Jeanette Swan Date: 8/5/2025 5:46:00 AM 'Rippling refrain' has a inviting sound and is just like the river murmuring. That and ' ribbons of rain rearranging' things are my fave lines. Really resonating. J :) Login to Reply

Tom Woody Date: 8/5/2025 5:12:00 AM This is outstanding. When utilizing extreme alliteration like this most throw together words that just don't fit. Yours has a coherent and consistent theme and flow Login to Reply
