RIVER

Description of a rover.

Swirling dark and deep and slow,

Golden brown and jade you flow

Over rocks and under sky

Nourishing the land nearby

Winding through a bank of weeds

Carrying the living seeds

Home to beaver, trout and bream

Coolness in a forest dream.

I'm glad you liked it.
One of my favorite books is called "Mad River Road." I wonder if there's any connection?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wow, i am going to research that...might be the same Mad River.

the water was sooooo cold....

[jacob erin-cilberto]

looked it up...different Mad River...the one in Vermont is in Waitsfield...

~You never disappoint with your poems Marie. This speaks in a voice that shares what at first is not seen. Your diction is excellent here.~
