A Terza Rima Contest Entry
Oh, The Joys of River Life! by Y. M. Roger
Terza Rima contest writing prompt entry


A river it ripples and frolics along,
Happily with no destination in mind -
It smiles around rocks as it burbles its song…

 
For exercise workouts it will twist and wind,
Lifting leaves, branches, and all sorts of debris -
It murmurs its secrets as braille to the blind…

 
It relaxes in pools, resting and carefree,
Taking time to reflect and catch some sun’s rays -
It laps at its banks to make stunning marquees…

 
Though seeming to roam, it’s quite set in its ways -
The life of a river can’t help but amaze!

 


Writing Prompt
A terza rima is a poem with eleven lines, an eleven syllable count and a rhyming scheme of aba bcb cdc dd.
