Not a river but a stream...

River Kids by T. Jason Wright Photography

Down by the old, old stream
Not a river but a stream

Where I first met you
Not the second but the first

You were sixteen
Not fifteen but sixteen

My dearest queen
Not a king but a queen

Down by the old, old stream
Not a river but a stream

Yessss…my favorite song in high school…I guess a girl scout song…and I would like to share it with you my blogger-friends…..........This is the best I can do for this Sunday's OSI prompt! :)

Glad I still could recall the lines…:D

Prompt: River

  1. Hi Amity ~~ I cannot get your 'River' post to open for comments.  It goes into a 'Disqus_thread' (???) loop instead.  No place or visible way to leave you a comment.I did change my river poem to keep the flow better.  I've had it this way before but made a swith-the-lines choice for rhyme's and reading aloud's sakes.Thank your for your critique, I appreciate it very much...I will come back to leave a comment on your nice "River" poem.This 'Insecure Writer Support Group' sounds like something I might need.  If I remember I will check back on the first Wednesday of November to see what is going on.  Thank you for the heads up.

    Nice Signature. I have come in from KParthasathi's blog. Lovely initiative by your friend Alex. Hope to read more of your blog soon. 

    I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful comments you left at KP's post. I am not his daughter (Would have been an honor). We just happened to meet in the blogosphere. :)
