Three Trips Down the River
I – A Bed Time Story
Rainforest children fall
Into green dreams
Visions
Embracing nature’s eyes
Releasing their love for salmon.
II- Night Time Wishing
Releasing time
In my heart for
Visions of night fishing with Poppy
Evenings of searching for the perfect spot
Remembering our smiles at my first catch.
III – The Franklin
Revealing wild rivers
In the journeys they inspire
Visions for tourist and visitors
Entranced by nature’s eyes
Recipes are made for protective renewal.

Lovely use of the prompt, June.
Lovely poems, June!
