A Calm River Flow Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

A Calm River Flow

Rating: 4.4


Rivers are calm when flow quietly
You can hear from distance very gently
It touches the bank and flows silently
The constant move is on relentlessly

Rivers are named as mother too
It has proved very true
It can effectively prove as water way
They will be there for dominant play

Rivers continue to create fever
She has been dreaded with fear
When she has water flow and is in spate
No amount of words can help to state

Some rives are considered as death rivers
They bring catastrophes and shivers
They are feared most in people’s mind
They may be dangerous and so much unkind

Our lives are totally dependent on small or big
In every season she will make a dig
She will be like virgin lady
Rushing to meet her nice buddy

Every thing to face ruin on the way
She has still decisive role to play
It can be considered as our life line
She is kind, calm and always fine

When bloody wars were waged on the banks?
Many ships were made to sink
The blood continued to flow in the crystal water
Still men did not turn out to be hater

River has witnessed rise and fall of the empires
They continued to fight for lands to acquire
What made them to run for bloody race?
It was unclear from any angle to asses the case

Rivers may leave behind very good imprint
She may come and go with sound warning and hint
It is our misfortune that we are unable to control
Plenty of water to be enjoyed while on stroll

There is some wisdom and some nice lines in this piece but it is much too long. It needs to be cut down a bit and the author needs to focus on some aspect of the river. This will force the writer to focus on the precise specific point he wants to make about the river. If he does this, the problems this poem carries with it will disappear. ---- Greenwolfe 1962

Anyway I appreciate the sanctity of marriage and remember back when people seemed to celebrate anniversaries of 50 years and more, while these days the divorce rate nears record proportion. I wish the best for all who take the plunge, meanwhile I am happy as I am... Indi indiscretionate Posts: 152 Joined: July 5th,2010,7: 49 pm

You can hear from distance very gently...I grew up by the lake and that line evokes great memories...That's the beauty of poetry, that everyone might find different ideas from just one piece. Thanks for sharing.
