Life is like a river

The River 


 Life is like a river. 

It just keeps on flowing. 
You can not slow it down or speed it up. 

It goes in its own direction. 

No matter how many bumps and rocks there are it keeps going.

People may come in the river, but they will always leave. 

One year it may have more water than the next but it will always flow. 
It keeps on flowing through the rain and the drought. 

It will always be there in years to come.

I really think this is a very creative poem. I love how the river really acts like a metaphor for life, not just "life is like a river, wow amazing."
I really enjoy your work and I encourage you to post more poems!

I think that this style of writing in VERY sophisticated and very creative. I liked how you made connections to the human world and the river. The rivers very much so can connect to the real world. When you wrote that the river keeps going no matter how many bumps or rocks occur. Like when I have a hard day I just keep on moving forwards. Why do you like the river? Influence, inspiration, or just for the fun of it?

What a amazing analogy that you made about how the river never stoping even when there is a drought. One of the connections I made is that a river is going in its own direction and you can't stop it, I relate to this because I have a goal in life and no one can get in my way of that goal ! What is one of the ways you connect to the river.
