What say to "Atchafalaya River" poem?

Question

Grumbling, perverse river...slither straight on...

Brown, brown, sniveling river-crone.

Snatch up those drifting cypresses and hustle

Them haphazardly under bridge supports, to

Vanish into bayous even you have never

Watered...muddy river hag.

Rogue river-child, did you caper and cavort

With your trifles today? Did you haul that

Half-sunk hulk down? Down, down, so the

Perch can play? Have you crumbled that rusty

Barge? Searched that tug yet...drowned it to

Travel far away to memory...and fall apart,

Rotting?

Muttering russet river, you told the Sun who

You're going to meet, didn't you...vile shrew.

Maybe you wish to visit a brother, or sister.

Perhaps a great, great grandmother. Vied

And vying river...you should stay home and

Gurgle to the trees. Yes, old vixen, your cackle

Only proves the danger of greener pastures.

Rambling tart, do not open the door to a

Stranger. A stranger too powerful...strutting a

Vimish spirit. And potency. Stay home. Stay

In your bed...alone. Why do I still not trust you,

Capricious vamp?

Who comes to meet you...for you've changed...

Harlot. You are submissive, tranquil, today.

Knowing. You are still waiting for that stranger

To take you out of your ages-old home. In spite

Of bolted and steel-barred restraints.

What will you both take with you when you leave

To vanish...changing to something else...

Somewhere. And you will see us again...

Inconstant gypsy witch-river.

Answer 1

Red she runs

Unchained

Old River structures

Confines

Combines

Back pressure cooking

As Calumet relieves

Draining complaining

All the way Down

Force feeding

Little Wax Lake

Over drawn

Annual resolve

And she runs

Red

Brava! Bravissima! You've portrayed a very powerful witch of the swamps and bayous, with her wicked fingers of death and awful smells. She's deceptive in her stillness.

Reminded me:

A friend of mine lost her sister during a major flood ...she was taken  by the muddy waters and was later found miles away (by chance) within the debris.  Powerful!
