Mark J. Halliday Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

For Chrystaline competition

Mighty Waters

Melting ice
Drizzles, puddles, and flows
Ever inexorably downwards.

Rain clouds form,
Giving of their essence,
Contribute to what melted before.

Trickling down,
Forming puddles and streams;
Then rivers, lakes, and tributaries.

Suddenly,
The river bed just ends,
Enchanting the spectators below.

Jan Allison October 31, 2014 at 3:52 PM Great description charting the journey from beginning to the end of the waterfall - good luck in the contest:-) Hugs jan xx Jan Allison October 31, 2014 at 4:40 PM I started my poem about 4 days ago and that's as far as I've got so far - ideas but nothing flowing yet:-( Hugs jan xxx Mark J. Halliday October 31, 2014 at 4:36 PM Thanks Jan. Couldn't come up with anything profoundly emotional about it, so just went to the origins.
