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!"

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

    I love the truth of your poem... no stream to small to become part of it all!

    "Lookit me! I’m part of the
    Mighty Pacific!"

    It is good to think big, Bev! It can bring in lots of dividends

    'rolling and rowdy'
    'knifing through'
    I like the imagery.

    Haha, I enjoyed this poem, the ending is as amazing as the start,
    "Lookit me! I’m part of the

    Mighty Pacific!"

    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.

    Your poem is a great reminder that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. Have a beautiful day.

    I can hear the bubbling now and it does have a sort of proud sound. Love it! 💓

    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.
