The h2g2 Poem
Created | Updated Sep 2, 2009

Birth of a River
I dreamed of falling, freezing, blowing
Clear and cold
Then sudden impact, sinking, soaking
Soft and slow.
I tasted minerals, dissolving, rusting
Sweet and sharp
Then dripped through cracks, constricting, crushing
Deep and dark.
I felt an increase, swelling, flowing
Lunge and leap
Then plunging quicker, trickling, gushing
Fast and fleet.
I reached for freedom, surging, rising
Up and out
Then broke from darkness, babbling, laughing
Splash and shout.
