Rivers
By Tamera Dobbins,USA
Water roams within it’s banks
searching for new anglers beneath
the whirring of Dragonflies.

gushing from snow capped mountains….
gushing from snow capped mountains
purity, cold, swaying, enchanting
blue sky coy, failed to halt her

Climb
Sherry Asbury, Oregon, United States
Swirling swaths of rushing heaves
Washing away the rusting leaves
Cleaning forest gutters bright

sinews as wide as rivers
meandering past life’s mistakes
marrow in bone grows deeper

Rivers (Haku)
All rivers flow to the sea
And there they become an ocean
Of dreams and all that may be
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — -
falling through lonely glens
falling through lonely glens
we trickle off wet heather hills
navigate our way to sea

set up, he turned and saw Lisa
swimming nude in the river.
