Babbling Brook

 

 

Babbling Brook

Excerpt from Heart Sounds

 

 

Babbling brook winding slow

As if it had nowhere to go

Rippling waters soothing song

Singing softly all the day long

 

Wolf pack gathers near the brook

Their blood lust they’ve forsook

A thirst for water leads each nose

Pure clean water a sweet repose

 

Mother squirrel at water’s edge

Family of rabbits emerge from the hedge

Ducks on the water swimming slow

Fawn ventures out behind the doe

 

A bear and its cub fishing there

Doe rises, sniffs the air

Wolf and fox come with their young

Wolf pup laps water with his pink tongue

 

Babbling brook the well spring of life

The weak and the strong feeling no strife

Coming to drink in a communal way

Enemies later, but just for today

This is sweet. I think - this is that first poetry what every child should read. Fantastic to learn English. That's art. Loved i t!!! All was just one swirling ecstasy.

This was a really great poem. It's well written and flows perfectly. It has a rhythm to it that enhances the words. You were able to pull off the rhyme scheme perfectly and I think it truly enhances the piece. There was a lot of imagery and the poem went a different angle than I had expected when I read the title and yet it still fit. Great job!

Your poem is done sweetly and written nicely. A joy to read.

This is really brilliant - my fave line would have to be "Their blood lust they've forsook" - I love it how you've painted a picture of the fierce coming to drink with the gentle at the beautiful brook.

Keep it up! I've got to read more of your writing.
