Hi Wren and happy WDC Anniversary! Wow! What an exciting and fun prompt! I would never had considered a challenge about making every word in the poem begin with the same letter. Someone had a great creative idea!

I can figure how tricky it might be to do a poem in this way, but you seemed to have done it effortlessly. I hope you did well in the challenge.

What I was most impressed by was the generous amount of stanzas which you added. I think if I had to do such a thing, I probably would have ended with three stanzas! Nice work.

I thought River Rock was a nice theme for your poem challenge. You found lots of great, 'R', words which worked well here. At least, you made them work well. Everything flowed very nicely and made sense without having me stumble through it at all.

One of the most impressive ideas that I felt you did in this poem, was to have a sort of topic in each stanza. In the first, we are introduced to the rolling river and round rocks. The next talks all about how the ranchers react. Followed by a stanza about the rains. The next showed trickle creativity as you wrote about raft riders. Your last stanza, I think, was one of my favorites. You mentioned a runoff, which led up to the ending of the poem, where we find that the roaming rivers relaxed. I thought this was a nice way to bring closure to your poem.

How did you do in the contest? I can't imagine anyone would do better.
I was curious as to which contest this was. I would add a link to it so we could see it and more poems like this. Of course, if the contest is over, it's better not to add any link.
