Haiku Friday: Rivers
Rivers literally shape our lives-- they carve out mountains, bring water to crops, created pathways to go from here to there, and mark our boundaries. Let's honor them this week. Here, I will go first:
Minnehaha Creek
Like a string drop't on the ground
Brings us the good life.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun.

The river is now
underground and out of sight,
shows up in basements
River overflows
its banks and ends up seeping
into our basements
The river is dry
early in growing season
the crops die of thirst
It's not the rivers
fault it's carbon emissions
and we are to blame

The Ohio shapes
my city north and west so
we sprawl south and east.
It shapes my state’s top,
too. Showing where Kentucky
stops, starts, begins, ends.
Rivers do that. Hard
stops that force-form our bound’ries.
We cross anyway.
River banks sharply
defined do not stop our real
need for connect'ness.
Bridges go over,
tunnels go under, vessels
carry us across.
Humans must breach their
own rivers. They find a way,
any way they can.
