River Poems | Examples of River Poetry

A brook trickled easily down As poetry running unbound And I stood on a rock To hear the steady stream Of foreign words gurgled. A hazy shaft of light beamed down - Laser-pointing through piney boughs - And where it gently struck - Columbine shined and teemed The floor with emeralds....

Vast as a landscape, not a straight but a meandering one Sometimes placid sometimes storms, but always moving It is alive; always flowing getting lost in eddies of distraction Sense of timelessness flowing for millennia,shaping the earth Thoughts shape you like a quiet meditation on introspection It doesn’t always follow a straight path and takes its time. ...

"There's a river meandering through the mind" I love nature and wandering among the green trees, and following the bubbling path of a cool blue river; as it meanders and twists by jagged rocks and reeds, where ducks and swans make nests in the shade, And when I go to sleep at night I meander that river; I explore...

Amidst the granite, smooth and cold, In the dark of night, secrets unfold, Lies are stones, sharp yet brittle, In the river's course, their power belittled. Soft undertones of truth, like water they seep, Through crevices narrow, in silence they creep, Years cascade by, relentless, unyielding, Lies wear thin, their facade revealing. Erosion expurgates with patient might, Chiseling at dusk, shaping the night, Truth, the...

"There's a river meandering through the mind." Follow it and leave the world behind. Don't be in such a rush. Hear a nightingale. See a thrush. There are many things to find. The space inside the head is not confined. All things are sweetly intertwined. Sipping ice-cold lemonades, Annette, the neighbor girl in braids - such memories, by...

This rescue plan calms me, the word flow I stop My lifebuoy surrounds me so I stay on top. The river will then flow, while keeping...

"There's a river meandering through the mind," older than the Englishmen who raised a bridge over its Constitution, a nude Indian sped away from a warring Englishman behind absconding by canoe to an adjacent isle but smallpox caught the indie afore ammunition "There's a river meandering through the mind," that witnessed the grapes of wrath in '37 and suffered its wine,...

Only the river knows... the unfinished song my heart holds. Only the river knows... the whispers still heard on every wind blow. And still... The river flows onward from yesterday's woes....

It is a beautiful spring day, birds are singing their little hearts out. I am rocking in my favorite rocking chair, as a cool breeze covers me like a blanket. What could get better than this, I ask - as I sit and ponder? "There's a river meandering through the mind," with many thoughts. Thoughts are running wild, like the river meandering around...

From the right shore to the left, I thought I could no longer cross. Even if I looked back at the time that had passed, I thought I could not cross the river. The bridge had fallen; that was the end. When the river overflowed, I thought I was unloved by life. Without even trying to forgive. If I wanted to be loved, I...

Do you remember it … That one late spring day, Solemn, where two could sit A place nearby, but far away It must be there still … All around was dense with green A steep hill, a small hill … A footbridge in-between Leading down into the nook A place both shaded and quiet, And the bench by the brook Sat there waiting by...
