Serene
Calming imagery from nature
River flowing down a winding path
caressing and eroding the earth gently
brushing green as it flows past
maintains life. Growth, plenty
-
Frogs leaping on water lilies
ripples expanding. Endless
a dragonfly trespasses
and into the frog’s mouth it goes. Defenceless
-
A bear washes the day’s trouble away
the river flowing strong
it cools its grizzly neighbour down and sways
around him and flows along
-
Salmon swimming against the stream
to lay its offspring it seems
as they go up a small waterfall
a claw swipes, and that’s its downfall

The circle of life. And it moves us so. The pic is really calming. Further downstream we too, are eating some salmon.
Oh no, the dragonfly and the salmon! Well, that's how life is, you get snuffed out. Loved your poem!
Gorgeous! Ok, now I'm relaxed! You created gorgeous visuals here, my friend. Beautiful nature poetry! Going back to read again!
The imagery is stunning, and the poem has a lovely rhythm to it."
