Notes About The Poem

Written September 25, 2023
For The Contest, “Try a Quincrosticain"
Sponsor, Andrea Dietrich

River

River, are you saddened as you drift along-
In this, your journey started centuries ago?
Varied tales lay hidden in your rippling song;
Embodied, mystic secrets mantle rocks below.
Resting- no escape in your never-ending flow.
