Poem: Rivers

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Rivers  by Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth,

London,England

Rivers racing and rushing

Rivers of tender giggles and glaring gossip

Rivers of bountiful bosoms and golden basins

Rivers of cracked clay, care and cuddling and carousing

Rivers of resilience and resolve

Rivers of resource and refuge

Rivers of wit , wisdom and wealth

Rivers of thirsty times and turbulent tempest

Rivers rising and raging

Rivers Rough and Rivers Raw

Rivers of Havoc and Rivers of Wreckage

Rivers of Round Trips and Rickety Hips

Rivers  of reverence and regard

Rivers of golden drops and diamond dew

Rivers of rite and ritual

Rivers of  shattered reverie and scattered  reflection

Rivers of rebirth and renewal

Rivers of repression and restraint

Rivers of time and tide

Rivers of ripening and reaping

Rivers of risk and rescue

Rivers of reflection and recalibration

Rivers revolting and rebellious
