Hidden Rivers
November 7, 2017
The rivers lay deep in oak wood
obscured by undergrowth
blue waters sing the magic mood
again in the night's oath
Two birds fly in concording moves
white wings flap overhead
old crickets chirp songs in new tunes
by rivers laying deep
Smooth jazz music sounds in the brain
hands float in a straight line
to touch the warm palms in the rain
and stare into the gold
Sight of the waters and green plants
shines in those with the eyes
of those using love with their grants
to grow old and wiser

I have gotten into poetry within the past few months. I have been inspired to write because I learned I am a relative of Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet and lyricist. I thought that maybe I have a talent I can develop, thus, my immersion into poetry. I read Burns' Love in the Guise of Friendship poem and wanted to emulate the form he used in his poem. I wrote this with a goal of writing like my old relative, about love in a structured form.
