A nice nostalgic look back at a scene which promised to always be pleasant and romantic. But the water moves on and so does the dream. Well written I believe.

Comment from emrpoems
quatrains with abcb rhymes. I loved your poem but it did leave me sad. So much is true about many friends. Disappointment comes when someone thinks that one person is in love with them and then finds out it is the other way round. Left me wondering if they got in touch with their old friend again. Very selfish if not.

Comment from James Chaima Phiri
It is true that reflecting on life can change as we get older. This is not only funny, but interesting and sometimes shocking. In this poem/story, you are shocked to remember that Nancy and Hank ran off together. It is interesting to see an adult sitting alone on the river bank reminiscing about the past. This is a nice story.

Comment from vkmack
What a great piece of prose/poetry. You did a wonderful job of sharing a story in a poem. This looks like a winner. The picture is such a fabulous accompaniment. I can see why it stirred those memories of your trio. Are they still together? Sounds like you had some great times as kids. You did enjoy a terrific childhood together.
Your tone is so wistful and reflective, and you use just the right language. I really liked your rhyme scheme; forever and river was a clever rhyme choice--different. The end was bittersweet. I hope you're happy, too, and that you found someone special as well.
One thing I noticed was that you put an apostrophe in ole. No need, as it indicates something is missing. It's not. You use it for fishin' and such, but no need in ole. You've got all your letters in there.
You did a great job, and this looks like a winner!
Good luck to you.

Vkmack, what a wonderful, thoughtful review. It is so appreciated. Actually, it is not a personal story... I just based it on the picture and the story developed itself. LOL Thanks for the tip about the apostrophe. I will change it for sure. And thanks for the vote of confidence on the contest. Jerri

Wow. You are a great writer! I got completely sucked in and just knew it was a true story. Awesome work. I didn't have another six. Sorry. You did a fantastic job though. Hope it's the winner!
You are so welcome. Thanks for the great read, Jerri.

Ah, how sweet. Reminds me of a crush I had on my brother's best friend. He never had an eye for me, though. Sigh. I still had a wonderful husband. Good job of writing. Miss Sally

Comment from barleygirl
This poem deserves rave reviews becuz it fits the "story in a poem" requirement more than most usually do. The story flows naturally & feels complete, within the mostly-well-constructed poetic devices used, such as rhyme & rhythm. Love this line, it delivers so much meaning: "Growing up wild in pure country air" . . . and the last line is not only a great conclusion, but it's also stated perfectly. Thanks for sharing & good luck in the contest, if it's still going.
