Ohio River



Diamonds

spread as if strewn

by a rich hand sparkling

the sapphire above liquid

fire lined with emeralds

below in melted

silver river cats

seek their prey

What a lovely image this evokes. It makes me want to go on a drive. I cross the Ohio River on my trips and it is lovely indeed.

Thank you, Dreamer. I love the Ohio, as you can tell. It's enchanting and a little frightening too.
