Best Watercourse Poems

3 holes Hut on Cubbie

Yep me an Sow the wild pig were,
Under the low set hut, yessir,
I was 12 months old, I be,
Nappies were short, so I had none see,
The piglet kept me clean,
Did he…

The old hut is now a fallen down,
Where piggy an I...

Snatched and grabbed, reefed off me horse,
Just crossed over the watercourse,
Big white light it came and got,
Zapped me, jerked me up aloft,
A bloody flying saucer.

Saw the circle spinning disk,
With panels from one did whisk,
Beam of light had done the job,
In me pocket, thirty bob?

Darkness came...

The river runs its winding course
along an ageless bank I stand
ceaselessly brewing silty soup
a recipe of dirt and sand….
I played in youth along these shores
And swam its raging watercourse
Wearing makeshift suits, swimming nude,
floating its breadth on inner tubes….
Alas! Those days are nevermore.
… As I mused...

With bent torso, fenced horse Corso,
Tows corpulent gent Morse into a Kent forest.

This portly source torments tense Corso to such a contentious extent
That he sends them off course with vehement force to show his discontent.

“Whoa”, vents the incensed Morse 
With voice tense and hoarse from...

O yes, that is fine day
For fishing in mountain river
When weather is bad, 
And raining from early gray dawn. 
When world look so pity and doleful
Maybe for artists and poets
But so nice for big and hefty fishes.
They are swimming out 
from deep and cold bottoms...

We are truly blessed with splendid scenery in this great nation,
Overwhelmin' our senses with awe and inspiration!
Visitors to such places may view them with differin' perception,
And the spectacular Grand Canyon is certainly no exception!

A preacher, for example, might fall upon his knees in exaltation,
Praisin' and...

Navigating the immense void of night
The right ascension to a winter’s sky;
Coincides with the height from which I stood 
Stars, interlinking crescendo’s so freely,
Imitate the centuries, as I presumed as much.

At least with one tuned in, to so many stars
The magnitude existence found, far large;
Appearing...

With His hand He measured the span of the universe
Of which planets, stars along with earth  will immerse
Like river rock on any given great river's watercourse
Yet His hand  holds me as a mother that newborn nurse

Comforting hand which He  measured span of...

The brook thrums as it vaults over the piled rocks
Rolling on deep into the Zambezi valley
Twisting, flirting with the rigdes that compliment the escarpment beyond 
And the indigenous lass strolled to the rivulet a rose 
A dragon rose burgeoning before the  morning glory of...

Ambush

There's a lovely tropic island at the bottom of the map, 
It's a paradise on earth except for one small handicap; 
We have wallabies and kangaroos to only name a few, 
And a gentler crowd is seldom found in any city's zoo.

But there's danger lurking...

Angels amass amid the garden of surety with their watercourse formulas

In pristine pails pouring tenderly this life in decreeings drops upon my Soul 

Its soil summoned to be nourished; fertile words as light from, The Rising Sun 

Visible in their warmth alive that I may...

O, my life like a gray, gray smoke,
That's newly pillowing from an old engine.
O, my life like a trumpeting
That's sweetly sounded by an elephant.

As fair as a river, my life stream in meanders,
So deep in gush am I;
And I will pour thee still, my watercourse,
Till...

Your LOVE is like an adoring reverie,
               like pebbles on a shore you surface me-
Like a tide in the sand you set me free,
     you bring healing...

ALL THINGS NORSE

These are the guys in horn-helmets of course,
And the biggest hammer was always Thor’s.
They traveled each European watercourse
From the mouth to the source, 
And their transport was boat  - never by horse. 
They were preoccupied with trade as a resource 
And with...
