A Poem Is a River

A poem is like a river.

Jump into it.

Go with the web and flow.

Let it carry you downstream.

Let every word, splash, refresh, renew you.

Dive deep.

Below the surface,

discover the hidden meanings,

and float to the top-

Exhilarating.

Swim, and sweat, in the water.

An intimate experience.

A poem is a River.
