Premium Member Rowing Upstream and Downstream
Rowing downstream is one of life’s grandest pleasures while upstream’s difficulty is quite hard to measure You’ve got to dip those oars in right tight to the boat and if you're ahead...

Flowing Downstream Without Levees Or Windbreaks
some poems ask to be naked they have no use at all for punctuation not even for an en dash an em dash nor hyphen they play with a flowing grammar that must be read like water or paddled through on a leaky canoe the poet can then hide behind these unchained words while demanding to be truly heard while of course all the suggested...

Downstream Time Treads - Revised
Downstream Time treads tick-ticking; He paddles upstream to the woodland, To hermits’ “Evergreen” bookstore: To observe, to feel, and to be with. Hum dreamy murmuring streams, Mystic tip-toeing spirits mutter him; Sooth him sweeping, balmy breezes, And peace plays in his swelling heart. Nuts dive in honey on his leafy plate; Pages flip through on his rocky bed, Anoint owls...

Downstream
The water is cold, I sit stiffly in the boat. Again, I am lost. The oars are secured. Going downstream is a risk, My eyes are open I am quite a wreck, Not knowing where to begin. My eyes squeeze shut. Where will I go now? Lethergy lulls me to sleep, I breathe in and out. Surely, I must move? The wind is silent and calm I spin...

Downstream
She locked the doors, and left the place, where laughter had faded, like old worn lace. Another sunset, has caught her eye, a change much needed, from worn out lies. Nothing she took, on that freedom day, she left it all, between walls of decay. Her season of change, took quiet some time, but soon she will hear, pitiful whimpers, and whines. Deaf now her ears, but her eyes now see, the beauty...
