on a gray day,
a mournful river slows
almost to a stop.

River Ripples [Haiku]
ripples march
across the glassy river --
faced by a reed phalanx.

Darkly Still [Haiku]
early morning:
it's still dark & darkly still.
one boat floats through.

Gravitational Exploitation [Haiku]
the stream carries sand,
dropping it in a broad pool,
clueless of its work.

River of Life [Blank Verse]
If you float that river down to the sea,
you will know long days of peaceful drifting,
but also rocks and rage, oh so bone-soaked.
You will be thrown from the craft, clinging --
trying to get back on to right your raft.
You will find yourself in an endless sea --
connected to all others.

“I was born upon thy bank, river” by Henry David Thoreau [w/ Audio]
I was born upon thy bank, river,
My blood flows in thy stream,
And thou meanderest forever
At the bottom of my dream.

River Snow by Liu Zongyuan [w/ Audio]
From one thousand mountains, birds have vanished.
Over ten-thousand paths, not one footprint.
A lone boat, an old man in coarse cloak and hat:
Just he, fishing in the cold, river snow.
Original Chinese:
千山鳥飛絕
萬徑人蹤滅
孤舟蓑笠翁
獨釣寒江雪
