Ahhh.... some things in life just need no explanation, no solution, why does there always have to be a why? The river is because the river does... :) leave well enough alone! :) Nice poem my love!

Brooke, another lovely rispetto, written with beautiful rhythm and rhyme, the words flowing in such a way as for the reader to feel the rush of water through the words.
Beautiful artwork to complement the words and colour scheme.
Warmest regards, Brooke,
Marijke

Comment from Lady & Louis
So pooh to you, the river said! Good poem, Brooke. I took two possible points from it - one, that natural phenomena don't take any heed of our self-important species (even the living ones, which of course a river isn't); or two, as a metaphor for human behaviour, that the incessant rush isn't really going to do any good. After all the river just disappears into the ocean...
Good rispetto, I liked it.
Louise :)

Hi Brooke,
Such a well rhymed and flowing piece. I love the art and color scheme which add to your poem. I'm hoping to learn some of these poetry styles from you and I am thankful for your author notes. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Joyce L.
It always amazes me how the waters can look so calm and relaxing at times and then a rush of current appears. The waters seem to have that power and aren't afraid to use it. Enjoyed this poem.

Hi brook,
Its nice to pass by your poems when I'm feeling like I'm sitting on the floor, as they really do have a uplifting undertone. Like this one, which gave me the sense of nature does what it is meant to do. No explanations needed. I'd rather be a river than a rock.

I loved the sense of mystery that is interlaced in
this poem, my friend. It is very intriguing. This is
certainly well done. Thank you for sharing.

An excellent poem with a clear message, to me! Most of us rush along life's journey but we can miss out on some wonderful thing by doing so.
Well written with good rhyme and flow.
Best wishes,
Malcolm
