Rampaging Waters

Like an overflowing bowl

of chicken soup

sweeping through a rocky

lane

a fast-moving stream

shows foamy white eyes   

of mischievousness

gobbling up branches from

shoreline spruce trees

wind-strewn about

the water in

a ‘sock it to me’

speed now challenging

anything in its way-

A blend of Autumn yellow &

orange tint share

space along the shoreline

composed of granite

slabs - ancient

in their markings

& pride of ownership

in my heart.
