AT RIVERS EDGE

Lessons scar marks upon a rivers diverse edge
when hungry bodies search there not just to be fed.
Twilight streams dream wiggles down upon each shore and
lullabies glisten from notes lit high up above.
Rivers float yearning histories like mysteries,   
easily in fickle-dark, nimble, deep waters.

Carol: You just proved that if one lived long enough, anything could happen! Since this poems conception for a contest, I've really sparked to it, but noticed mostly neutral comments and I didn't place in the contest. Such was my like of the write that I didn't care! To thyself be true, I was reminded by you. Thanks ... CayCay

Your entry is unique CayCay!...Hope to see it on the winning list. I gave up trying. It is too time consuming and then to keep getting N/A's...Just not worth it. My poetry is not in your caliber or Andrea's either. Hugs, Connie

Very nicely done, Caycay. Kind of philosophical while also being descriptive. Twilight wiggles toes is very clever. I keep seeing so many good ones like yours and yet he only gives ten wins. It's so sad! Sure hope you and I can make his list!
