Passing Time

There's a river winding gently through the pastures on the flats,
collecting tributaries of little creeks that the lower ground attracts.
'Tis the river that the angler seeks - the stream where pools run deep and slow.
I net the crayfish just for fun and there I let them go.

Sunlite Wanter Date: 8/7/2019 6:34:00 PM I really enjoyed this. It has the "feel" of a line from a Robert Frost poem, "I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep." A fav for me.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/21/2019 8:34:00 PM Lindsay, you should go through your poems and find one that has four lines to stand alone as a poem and use it in Greg's contest. I just know you must have something! Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 7/30/2019 7:06:00 PM Hello Andrea … yes, I have quite a few 4 and 8 liner verses but I've never thought about entering competitions. Perhaps I should, but I'm being able to post poems - thank you Andrea - Lindsay

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/12/2019 7:03:00 PM I really enjoyed this one, Lindsay . It's so peaceful. Is it for one of those 4-stanza contests like of Gregory's?
