Poetry - Rapids

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology
