On River’s Edge
by Will BrownHave you ever held your hand still
Just above a river’s passing water
Liquid rushing by reaching for your skin
Jumping up; eager to commune with you
Beckoning you to dip a finger in

Lovely. You can feel the water as a tempting, rushing force, inches away from your solitary hand.

Immaculate poem. Having done just that on numerous occasion while playing in and around the rivers of my childhood haunts. Makes this poem al the more special.

Oh, I really like this. It flows so easily. It flows like water. A river.
