Rivulet Poem by Barry Middleton

Rivulet



I claimed a rivulet
it was too small
too meek for fish

it held minnows
a sleepy salamander
and skittish frogs

it meandered
like a child
valley trapped

it flowed timidly
over bright gravel
till rain came

then it roared
like muddy death
swirling

it carried wishes
of infant poetry
and hope

it flowed to a creek
the grown up
waters

it rushed to the river
with a dream
and a prayer
