Spic, Spec and Span

great rivers are mighty but we should remember that snowflakes and raindrops are how they began the myrical myriad falling eternally full of great gravity downward they ran mingled by summertime gathering gleefully singing and dancing each one of a clan meeting excitedly strong and in unity yielding identity spic, spec and span

That was a great write Steven. Especially loved the first four lines - they have such a profound meaning. Thanks for stopping by at one of my poems.

Nice Steven, you have a great narrative style and appreciation for nature. I kept feeling you were also referring to something else, but I just couldn't catch it! Lol. So why the title? Best, Mike

good to hear from you mike, thankyou for your kind words. the title refers to any two discrete particles(or people) and the distance between them, span infers a relationship or bridge. the poem is about the formation of civilisations/cultures which evolve beside great rivers, freely and without artifice. it was prompted by my contemplation of human social evolution. not too much info i hope
