Notes About The Poem

8/2/2025 for Rolling With The Rs Poetry Contest sponsored by Nette Onclaud

The Rhythm of the River

"River, ever flowing lazily to the sea, your ripples mesmerizing me, please, reveal the secret to your magic!" "I always move.", the river said, as to the sea, it led. "Yet, I remain"... river.

Love this, David. I speak to inanimate objects all the time, normally in order to speak nicely to the hammer that just hit my thumb. I’ve also had words with lakes and canals that won’t sacrifice a single fish for my hook….but, have I ever spoken to a river…….. if I did, I guess it didn’t answer. Note to self… when speaking to rivers… go with the flow!

Haha, Great comment, Terry! The good thing about inanimate objects is I can put words into their mouths.
