Comment from MarjorieAnne
These stanzas present a lovely and imaginative response to the photo. Title is a fitting metaphor for stream of consciousness. Meter is irregular, especially in lines with more than ten syllables. I would suggest rewording so as not to repeat "with" more than once in stanza two. "Waters" in S1 and "Words" and "poets" in S4 need apostrophes.

Thanks MarjoieAnne for the wonderful review and edits. I have changed the form to Free Verse, as I had indeed, too many syllables in some lines. I has also fixed the punctuation. I am glad you enjoyed The Stream. :-) Carolyn

I like this poem but the last line really got to me 'quietly by the stream he sat with random thought absorbing sounds profound and oh so clear' thank you for sharing

Eye-catching artwork and well penned poem.
Very pleasant to read.
My favorite lines:
Quietly by the stream he sat with random thought
Absorbing sounds profound, and oh so clear
