What do you think this poem is about?

Beside the Raging River Rhyme

Beside the raging river rhyme
poetry florets flower with prose.
Scripted sweet petals grow and entwine
English gardens of fragrant rose.

Immortalized in pantomime,
the sonnet's nuance smell,
intertwines with ivy vines
and comely cockleshell.

Flowing water of endless words
gather and come hither.
Make known your message meaningful
before the blossoms wither.

    a dandy poem
    fileld with lovely images
    and the great truth
    of
    words
    and words
    giving delight
    to those who write
    and those who read
    a fine poem
