Niagara Falls

Elements Part 3: WATER - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brian Davey
I've seen pictures but never the authentic beauty, for one can never explain such flowing cascades, Niagara Falls has stolen my sadness while broody, what a marvel mother nature has made.
Wonder one of the seven seen within earth's creations Above Lake Erie bordering Canada while cascading Torrents of Niagara Falls impermeable from hydration Exquisite attraction in America, I watch the cataracts fading Rain and snow activate the collecting of precipitation Falls of water chute down strong, my essence serenading All the spectacles have exceeded my curious expectations Lingering tourists are enthralled, streams can be persuading Latitude of distance the water enforces without explanation
Watching the strong current energize while it invigorates, I wonder what the crystallization would look like if the falls could solidify. I can't imagine seeing a single glimpse as the frosty snow saturates. In wintry weather the streams don't freeze; requisite while the falls mystify.

The mist on your face that rises and the roaring sound of the falls is magnificent Laura. Sometimes it does freeze which is an awesome sight. I love that you wrote two poems and both are really great. I think you will be rewarded with a high placment! # ; )

Thanks Connie :) I was wondering if it froze or not? I thought maybe? But I'm assuming it freezes a little bit. I wasn't sure how to write that? hehe Many thanks Connie and have a great day :)-luloo

You've captured Niagra's majesty, Laura, with poetic flair. I've never seen Niagra either, but what a thought about it being frozen! Excellent and best of luck.
