It should give the entire continent pause when a river this huge dries to a trickle. I am glad steps have been taken to reduce consumption. Since 20 years ago, which means there are some very advanced thinkers in your parts. I love the metaphor of the river as exhausted, depleted mother, a state I absolutely relate to. LOL. I love this poem!!!!Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.com
