Why the river Quin does flow
with endless miles of thundering rage,
the answer she will never know
but watches the current rush still more.

Painting the rapids in her mind,
every rock and fall there for all time,
saving images for later inspiration to find,
she saves the rage and wonders why.

Lake you know I love your work and this is why i ask you "why the heck don't you post more often?"
You would so brighten up the forum a lot if you would only post more. Anyway a great post!

Lake I'd like to give you props for your poem being picked for the Teen section of poetry within the Digital Passions newsletter. You're poem was great along with the other 2 poems picked out of the teen section. It proves, not only to us, but mainly to yourself that you can write wonderful poetry and inspire so many people.
I am not sure how many people are on the receiving end of this newsletter, although I am part of staff, but I do know that a LOT of people will be reading your poem.
Great job!

Such a powerful picture you paint here, Lake! I also have to agree with the above replies in saying that I wish you would post more. You have great talent! Keep up the great work!

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

Thank you all for the replies

Dopey, Congratulations to you too, I saw your poem was in the newsletter as well!!   

Maybe I might possibly have a chance to consider the thought of possibly posting another poem tomorrow, maybe.

Sorry if I'm a little late on this Lake....Well, I'm always late    If you see old poems come back up, that's me replying to old poems    

Hey, I do agree with Dopey though.  This is really good.  I mean, It's awesome.  You should try to post more often.

Thanks for shring this one. And share more next time

Oh this one was great.  The rhyme was very neat, and the way you worded the whole thing was delightful.
