The River

Manuel José Othón (1858-1906)

With graceful waves, ye waters, frolic free;

Uplift your liquid songs, ye eddies bright,

And you, loquacious bubblings, day and night,

Hold converse with the wind and leaves in glee!

O’er the deep cut, ye jets, gush sportively.

And rend yourselves to foamy tatters white,

And dash on boulders curved and rocks upright,

Golconda’s pearls and diamonds rich to see!

I am your sire, the River. Lo, my hair

Is moonbeams pale: of yon cerulean sky

Mine eyes are mirrors, as I sweep along.

Of molten spray is my forehead fair;

Transparent mosses for my beard have I;

The laughter of the Naiads’ is my song.

A gentle reminder of how we do things: 🐱🐶🐦

Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

Pooties are cats; Woozles are dogs. Birds... are birds! Peeps are people.

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. If you’re having “issues” with another Kossack, keep it “out there.” This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
