Laura Leiser Poet Verse

River of Life

Living river glistens and laughs
       teasing, as it swirls past eddies
             slipping freely over smooth stones
                      pushing tadpoles and skeeters 'round
         meandering through sun dappled meadows
splashing forth fluid songs, making trees smile.
