Flint River

Ground seepage A small start mere drainage Grows to a mighty river rushing Flowing some three-hundred-fourty-four miles a rushing From Atlanta to the Gulf beauty accenting Through ragged Spewell Bluff it slithers Filled with fresh rain water Flint River

Lines two and four were a bit off on syllable count; otherwise I'd have scored this higher, Sara. I really like it. Congrats in my contest.

Wow, you really brought this river to life in your poem, Sara. I hadn't even heard of the Flint River before now, so I'll have to see if there are some photos online. Love the way the river starts out as "mere drainage" but carries rain water all the way from Atlanta to the Gulf. Awesome entry for Andrea's contest! Love, Carolyn
