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
