A Poem

A

babbling brook

careening

down

every

facet of the

gorge

Hurrying on

its

journey

Kicking rocks out of its way

Life springing up along its shores

Mice and

newts scurry about

Over into

ponds it spills where

quacking ducks reside

Rolling over tops of dams and

sliding under bridges

to

unforetold lands

Venturing near and far

Winding its way for

xoloitzcuintles to sip from it

Yonder more it etches its path into the earth, continuing to

Zoom on by, only to empty into the ocean at its end
