Glacier
GLACIER
Gliding so slowly down the mountain side. Leisurely, languid, see it glide. Almost motionless, but not quite. Carving a pathway, left and right. Icy, sparkling, petrified stream; Every facet seems to gleam. Rivers fed by the melting ice
Will fill the paddy-fields with rice.

Glaciers are a great subject...they did a lot to form our USA continent....love your rhymes♫♪
You know, of course, that I adore the clever flow of this one. I have visited glaciers in Canada many times, so I could actually feel that flow.
It was glaciers for me this week too! Loved this!
A very effective poem :)
