Rhythm Of A River




Current
glides in wild slope
along the dense forest,
rattling and burbling over rocks.
As my paddling arms sway with wind’s tempo,
canoe pulses with the wild flow.
Waves roll to smack the edge…
Vines tickle strong
current.

Love the imagery! You can almost feel the canoe moving, hear the water, and sense the forest around you. Very lively and engaging.
