Halvorson: I am the Mighty Mississippi
Not everyone likes poetry so I’ve made it a point not to include my poems in my weekly post.
Sometimes we need to be reminded of all the beauty at our front door. The following is from my book “When Life Throws Tomatoes.”
I am the Mighty Mississippi
Although I start as a small stream
I have been joined
By babbling brooks, dancing creeks,
Small rivers, large rivers, more rivers
Until I am the Mighty Mississippi
I am the red man in a birch bark canoe,
Harvesting wild rice
