A River Poem Poem by Mamta G.Sagar

A River Poem

Rating: 4.2


Inside the river are
the sky, the cloud, and the sun.
In my hands’ bowl is the river.


If I throw up my hands,
the river spills in drops, scattering
sky, cloud, and sun all o’er me.


From my hands’ bowl, if I drink
the river, then within me,
the sun, the cloud, and the sky.


Tell me, who is in who?

I think its a very interesting story. I like how the narrator is so mysterious and I'm still trying to figure out who is in who.
