A beautiful poem, Chris. I love the way you've taken a scene and translated it for us. Your powers of observation make it all feel quite magical. Like the experience of seeing something for the first time. A thing we always hold in the catalog of our memory.
I'm becoming very curious about this river you've been visiting...your poems make it feel radiant and peaceful. On another note, I especially like the style you've used here. The formatting with all little letters and the wandering of free verse. It suits the scene and musings well.
This is somewhere I'd love to be this morning. Lovely.

It has beautiful scenery and does flow through the city of London to the sea. Our journey last week was downstream to Windsor and then upstream to Henley. I appreciate your lovely review.
This is such a delightful read taking (me) back to those cottage weekends on the lake... Your river invites the senses, your writing makes it compulsory.. beautiful!

A very whimsical and calm piece of descriptive free verse as you paint a portrait of cruising along the river on a summer's day. Very nice and relaxing.

A bit of sexual arousal amid the glorious scenery would be an added bonus. I'm concentrating on the river view :) Appreciate your visit and have a great day. Thank you for persevering with my river musings.
