Every word that she writes is the start of a river,
Tumbling and fumbling its way to the sea.
All of the sounds that they send from the giver,
Spreading her thoughts and emotions to me.
The mountains inside her, the source of the writing,
Building and growing and crashing on down.
Finding a path through deep gullies exciting,
Feeding the greens and refreshing the brown.
Joining and merging and spreading and growing
Poetry forms where the cold rivers meet,
Emotions and love and thoughts they are showing,
The sugars and spices that make living sweet.
Now that her poems have flourished in stature,
The life that surrounds them can blossom and thrive.
Filling the heads of her readers with rapture,
Making me feel that I'm glad I'm alive.
The poems from this poet the sighs of her readers
Merging together the sea of all thought
Her richness of words can now nourish the feeders
Foundations of life as our children are taught
Author notes
For the best poet on AP, for now!
Modified from what I believe to be my best poem on site to suit her accent and to pay tribute to her poetry.

I see what you mean with this one. It is very similiar but seems more specific. Is it hard to write two such similar poems?

Amera has helped me a lot with my poetry, she critiques many of my poems including the original river poem. I don't always agree with her but I am always grateful, as a thank-you I rewrote it as (I hope) she wanted and gave it to her.

"Making me feel that I'm glad I'm alive." This said it all. What a wonderfully rich journey it is, when the receiver and giver of life nourishment meet. Wonderful portrait. A fine and fitting tribute.--Kel

love the theme and imagery of this piece.one poet thanking another for his words which have flowed down like a river of inspiration or a mountain of strength.some of the rhymes seemed a little forcer to me ; the giver; gullies exciting.

I loved this piece! What a lovely tribute to Amera's poetry! I think she will be very happy about this lovely write and I must admit she is one of the best poets I have came accross so far. She can write about absolutely anything and turn it into a sweet ocean of words.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
