Preserved Life? Miz Q 23


A Cascade, a poetic form using line repetition

Preserved Life?

willfully wanton water cascades
exhausted in a heap river rafters sleep
journeys of liquid roads, do not exhaust the toads

up before dawn, gear sorted on the lawn
bound to and adventure, the die is cast
willfully wanton water cascades

rapidly sanity, whatever remained
along with everything salvaged over rapids -
exhausted in a heap river rafters sleep

at rivers edge they tie their knots
soulfully singing lullabies to the weary travelers
journeys of liquid roads, do not exhaust the toads

a group of toads is called a knot.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
