HIGH HOPES

Quadrille #132, and our word is "stream".  It's been said all the waters of the world are one, so there's no stream too small to become part of it all.  Submitted to dVerse, July 26, 2021.

HIGH HOPES

Little stream bubbling along

Enters a creek and makes its way

Into a river roiling and rowdy

       Tumbling through canyons deep           

      Knifing through field and forest         

Thinking at last, "I’m quite terrific    

Lookit me!  I’m part of the 

Mighty Pacific!"

  3. Two very powerful words I found in this, Beverly: rowdy and knifing. And enjoyed the personification.

  12. OH YES! The Pacific is might rowdy and keeps me from venturing too far in. Now the Atlantic is another matter. Love your quadrille, Bev.

  15. I like your descriptions of the different bodies of water. I love the circularity of the water cycles. Mother Nature has designed a perfectly balanced system.
