estuaries' coalescence–
colliding
lake and sea,
inlets housing brackish
plunder
somehow
equalizing, not outstripping thee

A river is a liquidated lake. Sure their both fluid bodies, but lakes flow more slowly, and leisurely than rivers do. Or how about, "Leaving lakes, rivers-" or would thay upset the rhythm too much. Love the picture and the use of vocabulary. I've been thinking about "Salty Tears" all week recently.
Damn. This is really creative. I never would have thought the meeting/collision of the two as eclipse, but here you are wowing me with your genius.
This is beautiful heather.
Really cool take and lovely poem!
Just gorgeous and so captivating! This is divine in its simplicity, my friend 🤗❤️
Oooo, brackish is a new word for me. Also, do you know what is a river that starts with an L called? A liver! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll show myself out now hahhhahahahahha. Loved your Acrostic!
I'm with Paul, Heather. This is a stunning and original entry. Seems like everyone on Vocal has entered a dozen of these, but you managed to take the acrostic and do a whole other thing. I recognized the metaphor - the seeming collision of celestial bodies, and the coalescing of sea and river. Not complaining. Its insanely creative and well written. Just sayin'.🤪
Damn, again, on fire on fire, this is another stunning entry. Well done!
Another good challenge entry Heather
