Rhythm of a RiverSmooth flows
rivers perform
as nature intended.
Even when storms send it to churn,
its God bequeathed responses are right on.
Not so, emotions in my heart,
ripping me from faith's base.
I long for cued
smooth flows.

Rhythm Of A River
Current
glides in wild slope
along the dense forest,
rattling and burbling over rocks.
As my paddling arms sway with wind’s tempo,
canoe pulses with the wild flow.
Waves roll to smack the edge…
Vines tickle strong
current.

Rhythm of a River
river,
flow by my feet~
as waters of my mind
do overtake and wet the page
and droplets step-dance to create, backstage.
for manufactured, processed verse
could never pulse with life,
the rhythm of a
river.

Rippling Refrain
Written: August 5, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud
***********
River,
rippling refrain,
rushing, rolling, revived,
ribbons of rain rearranging
rocks, roots, reflections — reckless, radiant.
Rivulets ripple, ringing rhythms
resound, reaching, reeling
rousing rare range —
River....

May my heart remain silent, like a stone in a riverMay my heart remain silent, like a stone in a river,
No longer beating in rhythm with your memory, no longer feeling
Neither longing, nor love, nor time passing over
The shadows that stretch, long and cold, over
The past that secretly envelops me, like a veil
Of mist under which the soul gets lost, deepening
In the melancholy of an...

Rhythm of a Riverriver
flows in slow strides,
kissing the rocky shores,
to unknown lands, in great wonder.
fetters that bind are broken asunder.
its heart is deluged with a song
waves lap merry along.
songs fill the air.

Rhythm of a RiverNette Onclaud, Rolling with the R’s, 8/4/2025
Rhythm of a River
rambling
funny waters,
downward rapidity
of laughter on white water raft.
unintended coxswain gets rogue-wave kissed.
guides directing, this way and that,

RHYTHM OF A RIVERRHYTHM OF A RIVER
Poem written for “Rolling with the R’s” poetry contest, August 4, 2025, Nette Onclaud, sponsor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
river
in shadows deep
time stands perfectly still.
water mourns, regret and anguish~
the weight of time a wearisome sighing.
in solitude it carries on
river weaving sorrow.
heartache flows deep.

ROY'S RIVER RIDEROY'S RIVER RIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roy rode
river's rhythm,
raucous ripples rising,
rubbery raft, raced the rapids
riding 'round rocks, rambunctious, rollicking.
Reveling, rascal, river rogue
rushed by reeds, rollicking
rambunctiously.
Roy rode.
