Sandra Haight Poet Verse

The River

The River


Where are you heading, rolling river, as you move along?

Where did you start your winding journey centuries ago?

What daring tales lay hidden in your soothing, rippling song?

What deep, dark secrets do you hold in mysteries below

as you now drift entrapped in nature's never-ending flow?

Andrea Dietrich November 17, 2016 at 6:58 PM NIcely done, Sandra. I really need to look at what the rules for this are. 14 syllables per line then?
