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.

'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 :)

This is outstanding. When utilizing extreme alliteration like this most throw together words that just don't fit. Yours has a coherent and consistent theme and flow
