My goal it was to reach a star... I spread my wings, but flew not far I hoped to make it past the rim. Instead I'm stuck... out on a limb

Meander A River in Tasmania

Meander is my name


Meander is my name, for it's what I do best.

I'm true... but not straight.

I bend... without breaking.

I am mostly content within my confines.

I rise only when the tide of my emotions require.

Like the time, in 42' when I strayed into the country side.

Only later to return tired to my bed.

Passing the quay at Meander, my namesake town,

I slip under the bridge on my way to Jackeys Marsh.

Always moving... never straight, always bending.

Menander is my name, for it's what I do best.

This post is in response to Little Kate's open call "iron Poet number 11".
Wonderful to start the week with your poem, Travis. Your words tell the story of the image masterfully. When I read this I remembered of two rivers in Turkey known as Küçük Menderes and Büyük Menderes. The former (Little Meander) or Cayster River is located south of İzmir.

FusunA: I think I know the Kücük river, isn't by Efes? Thanks for flowing along with Meander.

Zanelle: Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for dropping by.
Your words turned and twisted and came out just right- exactly like the river that it was created for.
HUGGGGGGGGG
Linda: Thanks for the Hugggggggg!

tg: I thought I'd try something new. Thanks for commenting.
I love apt. How apt can it be to name a river that flows as such? And, one would think that an aerial view was likely not available at the time this name was delivered. Nopes. It was learned, from traversing it. Oops - see. Trav. Ya did it. What a great lil' piece of apt-ness you've delivered here. Rock on, Iron Poet!
Beautiful - without meandering! You nailed the challenge. And you captured the essence of a meandering river. Well done, mate!
Thank you for allowing me to discover this river along with you. And thank you for this gorgeous poem.

What a wonderful name for a river!

And how wonderful it is to wake up and find this from you, Out on a limb!

Thank you so much!
Songbird: You are so right... the name Travis is an offshoot of the word traverse. Thanks for commenting.

nilesite: Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Kate: I have to do the thanking here. This was a great open call. I had fun participating. Thanks for posting the number 11 challenge.
Well done! I love this poem's rhythm, it bends and wends like the river.
I'm so glad you enjoyed tackling this challenge. Big smile!
What a wish to wish... " I am mostly content within my confines.''

Cause sometimes, I hate my self for confining me in its abilities..

Beautiful, thoughtful and thoughtgiving work. Well done and thank you for sharing. Rated.
I like this. Nice job Mister Limb. :)
Out, you did this work in your best, I think, waiting to see your talent in the next writing. Beautiful and meaningful,

Kalimera.
You are a very forthright river, Meander. I wouldn't want to mess with you.
Thanks everyone for reading and commenting.
