The River - An Original Poem by Zentalk

in #poem6 years ago

Green and blue with hues of truth a raging river twists through a beautiful valley.... the land of the dude.

The dude is wise and the dude is cool. The dude lives for the day cause he’s nothing but smooth.

The river glistens in the sun glimmering flickering through the day as it meanders around and it makes its own way.

With rushing waters and rocks and otters. Life is great for its mothers and daughters.

The dude paddles slow in his boat all alone as the river flows he's got nowhere to go. And if you knew the dude you'd see how he's smooth, he's got nowhere to go cause he's already home.

Wouldn’t it be great to live the life of the river?

Author’s Thoughts…

I wrote this poem in inspiration from a few films I’ve seen in the past. The first is a move called ‘A River Run’s Through It’ and it’s a touching film about a pastor father and his two boys who he raised and taught to be expert fly fisherman and outstanding young men. The movie always comes back to the river which tends to bring everyone together in a peaceful state where life is most enjoyed at the river’s banks.

As a twist I thought of another movie called the Big Lebowski which is focused around a modern day bowling hippy called ‘The Dude.’ I believe his character was made to show people a man who simply lived in the moment and he was a nice addition to my poem about the river.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks,
