Meandering Rivers, Streams and Burns

Meandering rivers, streams and burns Zig zagging, flowing in contour turns Sparkling waters as pure as can be Flow through the glens and down to the seas Much life is found in these translucent waters Species of fish, and delightful otters Along these rivers, streams and burns Grow many grasses, trees and ferns Varieties of greens in wonderment bloom A most beautiful sight is natures front room Her seasons dictate, the rise and the fall The pictures she paints, delightfully enthrals These graceful rivers, streams and burns Lured us to settle, for beside the seas we yearned Villages turned into towns, and towns into cities For the lure of these waters, some murky some pretty For all around the world, the patterns the same These are just a few, the Thames, Ness and the Seine Look after all waters as they are all our concern Our meandering rivers, streams and burns " My entry into Brian's contest Flow, River, Flow " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/poetry-soup-4.php
