Bridge Rising

Antique bridge Rickety, weathered niche Time has aged and battered each gray board How the elements' fury each crevice explored Impossible its beauty to now be restored As the waters rage around pilings Waves lift timbers lashing Bridge Rising

Hi Sara, Very solid poem here. You can feel the bridge rising. I wanted to thank you Sara for your kind words re: Love From Above. I could not respond in the conventional manner due to a computer glitch. Good luck and continued success with your poems. Have a great day. Earl
