Clear bits of patterns of artifacts1
unfamiliar names of geology2
follow time in simple order.3
Mirror-still on you4
walking with you back in time 5
of misty days on snow-capped mountains6
and ocean banks7
of things and creatures8
trapped in ice9
that still haunt the land. 10
The melancholy forest of trees 11
that change shape 12
in strange features and creatures,13
the piling of new logs 14
until a new creation is born.15
I think this place holds my soul16
as I watch thin boats glide in the deep17
and sea salmon climbing 18
and out of the ocean riot19
whales bellow.20

This was a very original take on that choice, I really liked how you went about this. (This contest keeps getting harder and harder to judge though, heh.
) Anyways, I loved the smooth flow, it felt like I was riding gently in a boat on that river you were describing. The imagery was excellent, I felt like I was seeing snapshots before my eyes of the scenery. I liked the wording of this, it gave the poem a unique feel that I really enjoyed, kind of mystical and yet realistic all a the same time. This was well done, I enjoyed the read, thanks for entering and good luck.
Renae.
