Yampa River, Steamboat Springs, Colorado
The sound of the river, by old black rocks
Broad, fast-flowing, flecks of white foam
Pools of gray-green, darkness and silver
Running, rippling, gargling, and thrashing.
Overhanging branches of russet willow
With poplars fading into autumn
The tweet and twitter of chickadees
Black, white, darting back and forth.
Mallard Ducks floating and bobbing
Cottonwood leaves litter the damp earth
River sparkles with stories of life and death
Silent currents weaving their tales.
Anglers wade through deeper waters
The search for mature rainbow trout
Fly-fishing from the banks, move swiftly on
Passing quickly beneath the steel bridge.
