River Rise

River Rise

The storm is coming
The river is rising
It is rising quicker
By the minute
Washing away
Everything in it's path
Its easy to get swept away
The river is rising quick
There is no where to run
No where to hide from the storm
That is coming your way

Short yet for whatever reason, I really enjoyed this piece!

Thank you.

I can see how this is about life being like a storm... it also seems like a actual storm caused by nature. Either way... really good write. I like your original thought of life being a storm as you wrote this.

Ahmad, there is a rhythm in this poem that is like the river rising to rapids, sweeping away everything in its path- cleansing and destroying. Great poem! I used to live near the banks of a river, and I could see it rushing as I was reading your poem>

[Ahmad Cox]

Thank you. I wanted it to represent the storm of life and tribulations that can wash over you in an instant.

and you accomplished it well, my friend

Is this written about Hurricane Sandy? Cool write

[Ahmad Cox]

I wrote it a couple of days ago actually without knowing about it

[Ahmad Cox]

I meant to write it about the turbulent times of today but who knows. Maybe it was foreshadowing

[Steven Cash]
