Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Verse

The River Line

Majestic river tumbles down
gleaming glorious in dawn's rise.
Herons surface glossed in onyx
sprayed by cascades of polished jade,
and I curl boughs in pleats canopied wild
on bank of prayers rolling to meet sea.



Written 2/26/17 for the River Line Contest
