The Only Sound

The Only Sound

A Poem by abluehorseandflowers

The Only Sound

I'm back down at the river's side
It's ever my companion
The trees and grass and the nettles too
It's here that I abide

The only sound the water's voice
The carefree ups and downs
Here my torment is sung away
And seems against my choice

Bless the rocks like vocal chords
That create a harmony
That lift my spirit to the sky
Where all have made accords

The sun above is warming
A coldness from my heart
Gentle words I'm finding
And joyful thoughts are swarming

So loyal reader please forgive
All my mush rhymes
My meter is furcockta
But today's a day that I'm alive

You have created a splendid piece.
It eloquently expressed your favorite place by the side of the river and among the trees and grass and the nettles.
I think rhymes and meters are important for the critics but the people love to share their feelings with simple words.
Hence,cheer up!!!
You have the most splendid practical poem.
