MOUNTAIN STREAM ~ A Flow Poem ~ Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

MOUNTAIN STREAM ONE OF NATURES MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS

 

STREAMS of pure water ~ flowing nigh and day

Day time the stream is visited by thirsty sheep

Sheep that come to drink from its still pools

Pools of clear cool water at the streams edges.

Edges of the stream ~ the habitat of weeds & reeds

Reeds like bulrushes add beauty to the stream

Stream of pure water ~ flowing day and night

 

Night time and the mountain stream still flows

Flows continuously ~ visited by night creatures

Creatures such as the barn owl and foxes.

Foxes are nocturnal because they are hunted 

Hunted  by men on horses waving  hunting horns !

Horns they blow as the stride over the moors and streams 

Streams of pure water gurgling melodically ~ STREAMS

 

Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

This is a FLOW POEM because each line begins with last word

in the previous like ~ simple.  Because it has fourteen lines ~

of equal length it is also a 7 7  "blank verse"  Sonnet ~ OK

    Never heard of a Flow Poem before. It is a beautiful format. I have written a few sonnets - English and Italian versions. It is my favorite poetry format.
