Rafting Poems - Poems about Rafting


Whitewater
Foaming water, hard to see, raft rocketing rapidly, constant roaring on the air, everything soaked, toe to hair, paddles plunge and the bow shifts slowly through the angry mists, shoots past rocks, and eddies white, the river drops out of sight, stomach lurches, I feel tall, plunge down a small waterfall, splash hard in a swirling pool, spun ’round as if on a spool, hard strokes bring...

Whitewater Rafting
Life is like a whitewater rafting ride With turbulence and crashing waves Fear not of what lies ahead 'Cause God will guide your way Don't be afraid to make mistakes And swiftly move with currents strong Life's chaos can be daunting But, with Him, you'll get along Rest in His calm, soothing peace And thank Him for the ride Trust Him to guide you through As...

River Rafting
Generally, the flow of the river Is engaging, wonderful, inviting My LOVE wanted to take me rafting So that I could learn what humanity is fighting To the left, I see an abandoned child Sleeping on the thorny bank Suddenly, a boulder arose And my heart sank ....to the bottom The rocks cut my feet As I walked the rocky bed I saw an orphan Who had...

Rafting the Paradise
Today, I am a fighter Stood on a rusty truck, challenged the breezes in pace Sensations crawled passed over my skin, blared Like the troops of sky collapsed upon my face Steep step on the edge of ravine Rotten plums beneath my feet Narrow path led downwards to the valley Split over the beauty between hamlets and heaven Above the inflatable boat,...
