Wow...I was so surprised by the perfectly awesome way to describe this "division in the landscape". It was so perfectly said. Congratulations.I love reading a description that is pure and simple.

Hi Jessica,
This is a great mix of words and artwork. Good use of personification of the river. We often forget how much rivers create the landscape over the years to define their coarse.
Congratulations on being the recognized writer for the month.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a wonderful day
Joan

You are a talent, my dear! A talent! Very enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

This 5-3-5 uses strong nouns and verbs to craft strong images. I like the picture you chose to accompany your poem. The capitalization of Brook drives home the personification as it becomes a name instead of just a noun. Brook babbles and divides, and that's just how Brook lives.

Oh yes indeed, that's what waterways are for dividing the land, many towns have been built alongside waterways, how else would these towns have water? Beautifully written Jessica, blessings Roy
