Notes About The Poem

The Waterfall An English Sonnet

Water flowing downward from the hilltop
Meandering through gullies and the fell
Even bigger mountains for the backdrop
Where it really starts so hard to tell

Reaching a low cliff it becomes airborne
And plunges to the pool not far below
Down there in amongst the thriving buckhorn
Where fish live in the depths and lesser flow

Colours dance in spray that rises swirling
And wetting all the plants for yards around
Then duck and dive, and begin the twirling
Accompanied by crashing water sound

The strength of nature has me in its hold
A power that has been since time untold

I am struggling a bit here, totally new to me. If I did not get it, so be it. I would like a hint where I went wrong

I love the way you describe the waterfall's mist nurturing nearby plants, Warren, and also the way you create the sights and sounds of the waterfall so colorfully. Excellent writing! Congratulations on your win in Emile's contest. Hugs, Carolyn

Congratulations Warren! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. This contest was very tough to judge, for I was very strict, well done my friend, Emile.
