Rivers Edge: Poem

I was doing some video work for some of my poems at the Ocqueoc Falls near Rogers City, Michigan. I have a poem called Rivers Bend and I changed it a little and titled it Rivers Edge here and add in the Odawa Indian name.

Title: Rivers Edge

By: Bruce Hackmann 

The winding river softly flows 

As the eagle glides on the wind

With each twist n turn the river goes 

While the brook trout swims around the bend

The wandering river carefully circulates

As the turtle crawls back to the stream

With each curve n curl the river percolates 

While the Mallard floats around midstream 

The roving river rolls along

As the deer drinks from the river’s edge

With each zig n zag the river is strong

While the beaver sits on the rocky ledge 

The meandering river flows through the forest 

As the Chief of the Odawa stands ... by The Rivers Edge
