The Hocking River Comments
It's going to be two years so soon,
Oh how I cherish that April afternoon!

Nice tribute I am glad you had that memory, it reminds me to visit my neighbourhood river, to give thanks for the beautiful flashes brought to my life. Waves that midly shiver, I loved that, touching imagery by its kindness. Hopefthe cherrry trees were also replanted. It may take time bo become gorgeous, but one day another man would cherish an April afternoon and recreate some beautiful art because of it. Thank you for sharing, a pleasure to read you again.
We barely have time to look back to the memory of a neighborhood river and thank it for the 'beautiful flashes' it brings to memory. I am glad that you took time to physically go to the river and thank her for the favor. Thank you, @Elena Sandu, for the elaborate comment.

Enjoyed your stroll along the beautiful river bank watching the scenes and sights around! I too used to love the rivers. Their serene silent murmur was music to my ears ever. But now I see the river as the mad charging of an elephant in rampage and all I hear is its violent roar, after the recent floods in my land! A beautiful poem Khairul!
Thank you Valsa for reading the poem and appreciating it. 'Their serene silent murmur was music to my ears ever' - a river most of the time lilts music to my ears. But sometimes, yes, a cacophony too, particularly when it roars and erodes miles after miles of its banks, uprooting habitats and vegetation.
