crossed connections convoluted
tumbled in turbine
rolled round and round
water wears it down
by its sheer will, bending it
to do its bidding
perfectly producing electricity
nature does balance out the modern world
both amalgamating smoothly
'rivals' becomes a mere word
for their relationship
Interesting take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteVery well done.
Nature and power. Nothing stronger, OR in balance.
ReplyDeleteIf nature and the modern world are the rivals, I think it's about more than a mere word, it's about eco-war.
ReplyDeleteexcellent take on the prompt... i think electricity is the way to go myself...
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad I found you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a war that'll never end, man vs. nature. Nice write.
it's great when rivals become partners but when man and nature are concerned, this is so raraly the case...
ReplyDeleteMarvelous sounds here. Great work!

ReplyDeletetumbled in turbine
I like the use of alliteration. Very musical.
Loved the souns of the image "tumbled in turbine".
ReplyDeleteYour poem resonates well!
This is the kind of rivalry where human would never win. I think we should realize that we need to work WITH Nature and not AGAINST nature because in the end, even winning against it would be our doom.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well.

being at the heart of this water rivalry this comes as a soothing solace
ReplyDeleteI wish I could believe that nature and the modern world were as in balance as your words here -
