After
after you no
please after you
something
cruel happened that day i didn't believe
it could surprise what is least expected
walks through the
door silently you walk out

River
we are 60%
water the river runs through us silently
without water we
quickly perish disappear
cease to exist in
reality we are a drop of the sea
a small part of the
whole long to return to where we come from
stand at the
edge call your name call my own
the waves come to
shore circle my feet remind me of home
the taste of salt is
familiar the river runs through us silently

Indeed the river runs through us all. Superb!
Beautifully written :D loved your take on the prompt.
Again I am enjoying your use of this interesting form. And I like the idea of us all being part river!
Wow! Your river poem is my new favorite of yours! You use the fact of science to evoke a ritual of belonging. I love it!
I love the opening lines - how banal politeness can seem..we function in the outside world but all hold thoughts inside - dark sometimes and yet we carry on with the business of life..like a river which can only flow come what may...there is humour in these pieces too..or humility? both are wonderful and enduring
Gorgeous river-poem, Annell. "The taste if salt is familiar". The poem "After" makes a powerful statement in few lines - really effective writing.
