From hill to vale to sea
The water entrances me
Swift spring, deep pools
It runs from village to field
Then suddenly sluggish
It takes a weary turn
And meanders across the land
A silver snake,
Shy of meeting its bigger self.

Those first two lines are so musical. “From hill to vale to sea/The water entrances me.” They are simple, yet memorable.

Thank you. I didn’t attempt rhyme throughout but I did try to slow the poem down like the river.
