Gathered By The River (poem) by William Bonilla on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on March 20, 2003

Another wonderful poem. It strikes me both as deeply tragical and deeply comical. Comical, because of the parallel between our search for beauty and our instinctive destruction of nature, in order to create culture! Tragical, since nature evolves and changes, while our cultures all come and go...

keep your spirits up, nature has a tendency to repair itself... it's a very sad situation though...

Teresas sentiments are mine. I see this as a metaphor for the failings of civilisation.

I am no longer thirsty...lol..On a more serious note...This has such an activistic point of view. Reminds me of the Native American with the tear coming down his cheek. It leaves you with that feeling. Good work. Thank you~ Teresa
