Rhythm of the River

Rolling with the "R's" Sponsor: Nette Onclaud 8-4-25 Title Chosen: Rhythm of the River ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rhythm of the River River Rhythms boogie Rollick in white waters Ebbs then flows around mica rocks That sparkle with alluring fool's gold Arabesques over waterfalls Tumbling mists ~ lacy veils Pulsing ~ dancing River

This is a river so alive and full of energy, it has a soul and its spirit enhanced by your words, bubble and sparkle from start to finish of this poem- you do have enormous talent Sam and a vocabulary that reaches the four corners of Planet Earth. Blessings, Jennifer.

Hello my dearest poet friend Sam! This is a gorgeous poem on rhythm of the river my dear. I love this a lot, better than mine because I've included my past experience of canoeing in the river in my poem. I'll try to edit it if i still have time. An amazing entry dear and I'm sure the sponsor will love this. Thank you so much for sharing and reading mine too. Blessings to you always. Best wishes to both of us dear. Hugs
