the river

the river

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

the river

 

 

restless fingers tap

into tributaries of

intricate syntax

I like this little Haiku, you used a seasonal subject and created exactly what your poem describes. Magical piece by a true poetic magician.

dear Jacob... words ripple on the river singing about the storm the night before... carrying our dreams to another shore. Your poetry floats along the trail of feathers left by eagles flight. truly, Pat

wow, that is a great story...that river is special, for sure.
A literary senryu. I certainly hope the tapping continues for a great long while.

at least they keep on tapping, it's worse if they couldn't tap, the confusion in our mind, in our thoughts need to be released, even if it ended in some complicated sentences we might not understand.

In all relationships there is order- whether it’s words, expressions actions- the order is created within the flow-smooth slow definite - infinite- 🌹

Amazing use of words my friend. If we used more of our mind. We can see too much, I believe. Nice use of the river and thoughts. Thank you Jacob for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome Jacob.
Our thoughts are very much like rivers....and that intricate syntax is sometimes difficult to negotiate. Good one, Jacob. Lydi**

A code of their own, speaking aloud? You work eyes and mind alike with this: read, think.. applaud
