River Talk Comments

Hey, Smoky! I like this homage to Twain. Yes, certainly one of America’s greatest writers. Oddly perhaps this poem reminds me of a scene from Hesse’s Siddhartha where Gautama has a transcendental experience by a river. Suggestion—for the shape of this poem consider making the long last line into two shorter ones. All the best to you! -Glen

Wonderful poem Smoky. Shame some schools are taking Old Samuel Langhorne Clemens works out of circulation because they are not politically correct. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are a classic. I often wonder just what exactly kids are being taught in school anymore.

Lovely poem. We don’t understand what a river says but those mighty rivers have this power to leave us speechless and in awe. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute.

Such a heartwarming write, Smoky....10++++
