down there the river glitters <br />the fishes leap with a dance in the sun <br />their joyous fins flutter and sing <br />and they dive back into the river again <br /> <br />here where the Sea meets the River <br />the fishes leap with a howl <br />their fins flap in the burning sun <br />and they dive back into the angry Waves again <br /> <br />in their nothingness they see the harvestmen <br />bending reeds in the blazing pool <br />it is noontide, the fishes are in a wanton Song <br />the words offend my Ears and defile my Tongue<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/here-the-sea-meets-the-river/
