Array ( [sid] => 52903 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The River [time] => 2004-06-20 19:48:12 [hometext] => In this one I tried to put myself in the situation of a white water rafter, it was part of a school project, it turned out alright and I like it [bodytext] => The water crashes all about me
I paddle for me dear life
The rocks are rushing toward
My kyak; the only thing
Between me and the harsh,
Unrelenting river
But they will not touch it
Left and right I go, manuvering
Through the river as if it were a creek.
Slicing though the water like
A hot knife through butter
Just when I start to get cocky
Mother Nature deals a death blow
To my kyak
I fly head on into the
surging blue abyss
And the water that gives like
Threatens to take mine
But instead she lets me go
I've survived tougher
