A Waterfall A waterfall is a singular thing, an overflowing dam especially. Are there words enough to bring your riffles and splashes, your slurping and dashes onto the page?
Thanks Jonathan. If I ever were to teach poetry I think doing a poem based mostly on sound is a fun exercise. You could be standing by a train track or walking through a zoo. This was a lot of fun once I got the feel of it.
A few days ago, I went to a mountain to see a magnificent waterfall. It was huge and majestic. Also, I read this poem, when by a mere coincidence the song, Water Fountain was playing through my headphones.
Thank you Cathy. On Monday we head up to Lyon for 4-5 days. Staying in the old town right across the river from where you were. Can you recommend a good place for pate de compaigne and fromage a la tete, a place where we can buy food already cooked and we just heat it up?
Lucky you! A gem of a location that mostly only the French know about. I would hit the riverside Farmer's market which is across the river from you. It was there most days but was really big on the weekends. Lots of choices. Cheese, fish, pasta, beaucoup vegetables and bien sur le poulet rôti. So many small farmers too with their special cheese and pain de campagne.
I've just had an onomatopoeiac tsunami sweep me away :) Nice one Wes!

It’s wonderful and wonderfully done!
Quite entertaining! Even looking up the meaning of “onomatopoeiaing” was fascinating, and to use it in a poem is brilliant. Thanks, Weston!
Thank you Sea for that comment.
Well done gifted one; enjoying the sun whilst you summon some fun.
Oh, how cute, your response. and thanks.
Wow I needed this dance. Waterfalls never stop explaining themselves to the water below, do they Wes. There was a beat to this. So lovely
Thanks Π. Ha! It was such fun to do.
I’ve sent it on to a lover of words to enjoy already. Playful and strong.
I am surprised that page remained dry, Wes - Well done, susurrations and all!
Thanks Paul. The comic poems are fun to be a part of.
I love the sounds of all the words.
Thank you LeeAnn.

Beautifully written!
Thank you Rick.
Clever, clever! Brought a smile to my face.

Thanks Cathy. It's been a wonderful 30+ days here in L'Isle.
It looked wonderful. What a beautiful location!
