Sigrid Ermine Poet Free verse

Do We Dare Waterfall

Pummelled intensity, underneath we face her force
Exhaled wide eyed in white, witness rainforest exhibit
Splashed grins enfold a third tongue, waterfall
Her glistening christening combines us in sublime


Drilled by severity, her embrace as strong as yours
Like waterfall's flattened rock, I erode, smoothed 
Standing fused firm against her punishing torrent
Insatiable waterfall baptism pelts my opened senses 


Cleansed by new beginnings, deafened by dedication 
Buckets of vision catch my breath in virgin shroud 
Faces almost touching give lee from ferocious gush
Together steadied in her rapidly travelled path 


Lacklustre lizards, afterwards secure sun's approval 
Ancient rock sears wet backsides without burning 
Snoozing pulls us here and there consecutively 
Amorous dreams unmeasured as Saturday morning 


Drying dares our sizzled legs go again to her vigour
Your rigid gaze raises my temperature, raging 
Exposed thoughts post drenching return me
Pause flushes me with water's unwieldy ways

Gershon Wolf August 20, 2020 at 4:39 PM From the reverse surprise of the title - 'Do we Dare' i/o 'Dare We do' - to the finale 'thwart,' you held me spellbound, O Poetess! This is a work of art, a true masterpiece. I was right under that waterfall all the way, feeling what you wrote, like a series of bone-chilling gut punches. FAVE! Bravo, Sigrid! :) gw Sigrid Ermine August 20, 2020 at 5:05 PM Jeez, Louise! Thank you so much, Gershon. You're a darling!
