Susan Woodrow Poet Dramatic Verse

Delta Adventure

Done! - with the salted
Escape! .. to the dilute?

Like a lust temporal, 
tames to river-quiet

Agreeable is a delta ~

Autochthonous rage of the sea, 
dies in a landmass meandered

Venturing uphill's a slower viv...

Egos marine learning to abide

No superciliousness in sunken 
trees and/ predictable current

United wills, to leave a bayou,
reach toward a snowy-topper

Echoing heights of water pure  

(1/22/2021: Inspired by 'Watered-Down Juice' Contest and '98 Carver 350 Mariner, Bethel, Dec 2020)
