Rippling Refrain

Written: August 5, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud *********** River, rippling refrain, rushing, rolling, revived, ribbons of rain rearranging rocks, roots, reflections — reckless, radiant. Rivulets ripple, ringing rhythms resound, reaching, reeling rousing rare range — River.

Oh my goodness your greatness, Sotto, reflected in this rictameter of the highest quality. An energy imbued, apt image imbued work divinely colourful. “rivulets ripple, ringing rhythms,” I especially enjoyed but you excel in every line. Quite simply I was glued to the page and its raptured contents.❤️❤️🌹 And of course many thanks for your indepth and intelligent report on my recent PSoup submission. Howard

'Rippling refrain' has a inviting sound and is just like the river murmuring. That and ' ribbons of rain rearranging' things are my fave lines. Really resonating. J :)
