Ohio

the river in which I learned to swim along which I practiced my driving frozen mass where my dad dared to walk in his youth waterway where my grand paw taught me about boats daily crossing this tributary I live on and love the Ohio an unrhymed trois par huit

this is nice how you reflected on the river of your childhood and I liked it because it reminded me of how I grew up on the Mississippi, though I did not do many things on the actual river . Congrats for your win with this fine poem.

thanks, Andrea for the placement in your contest, I was born on the Ohio and have lived on it for all but 5.5 years of my septuagenarian life.
