Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Crossing the Creek

I crossed the rowdy stream
Jumping from stone to stone
A small outdoor adventure
Can I make it across alone?

Water rushing round my feet
My arms flailing to and fro
Finally safe on the other side
Dang! Now back I have to go....

Carolyn Devonshire June 15, 2011 at 11:02 AM Very interesting metaphoric value, dear LNC. It's hard to "make it across alone," isn't it? The struggle never ends. Congratulations on your success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
