Rhythm of a River

                                               Rhythm
                                               of a river 
                                      meanders timelessly 
                               with shallow edies that lie still
                          until the season's tempo moves along 
                               and I hear haunting siren's call 
                                    when the river flows by
                                            in unbroken 
                                                rhythm

Andrea Dietrich August 4, 2025 at 11:04 AM Just gorgeous. I feel like I missed something. I have not posted mine yet, but i interpreted something she said to mean we should use lots of R words. Mine is a bit humorous beause it was the only way I could think to do the one "room for rent"! Frederic Parker August 4, 2025 at 4:07 PM thank you Andrea, I'll go read yours when it's posted
