You're pro, you know that. I feel like I'm reading Robert Frost or someone.

I can see why this was placed. I especially loved reading about the playground...

great piece. nicely written, i like this. good use of capitalization and rhyme in the last stanza. nice work. keep writing!

Perfect ending. Wonderful job on this, describing the different faces of the river.

Lovely work. Above all this piece strikes me as elegant and full of deeper meaning. I liked the symbolism of the river being representative of poetry and how you built the poem's other symbolism around that. This was very eloquent and I very much look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you very much for your reviews and your time. It means a lot to me.

I am glad you enjoyed my work and I am pleased to say that I enjoy yours. I look forward to reading more of your pieces in the future.

very nice poem - the imagery is very vivid. No wonder you won third place!
