Grass tickles my toes

and a squirrel runs past me

softening my soul. 

- Joey Leenhouts 

It starts with one leaf 

Falling and awakening

Something deep inside 

- Jeannie M Smith 

As dusk arises 

the deep purple lights emerge 

Dyeing the water 

- Vakayla Davies

Brimming and flowing, 

swimming, fishing, and rowing. 

Here, life is glowing. 

- Benjamin Grisham 

The river's passage 

One hundred sculptures in shapes 

of diversity 

- Richard L Matta 

Arkansas River— 

the current flowing into 

another sunrise 

- Edward Cody Huddleston 

Amid city’s hum, 

River flows, a tranquil song, 

Little Rock’s Heartbeat 

- Avery Glover 

Tall buildings, lights gleam 

Reflections dance on water 

Peaceful lazy twirls 

- Melody Castrellon 

Gather, grow, and live 

Along our river flowing 

We have room for all. 

                - William Gould 

River so serene, 

Nature’s brushstrokes paint its song, 

City's heart flows on. 

- Axel Veliz 

Hands held, walk with me 

on the bridge see the bright lights 

Look at little rock 

- Kayla Jimenez 

Sun boils swimmers skin 

Plastic sticks to fishes scales 

River cries for help 

- Jan Baker 

Swift pacing my heart 

Currents flow and soothe my mind 

Your waters bring peace 

                - Marta Gwyn
