  I like the metaphor of a "river with tears" coupled with the conflict and seemingly impossibility of trying to hide them.

  Bobbi, your questions in the last stanza provide your reader with food for thought; a great way to give them a gift to carry away with them.

  I like the repetitions of sounds in your second stanza... complexities, mysteries, simplicity. Congratulations.

  This poem says so much. I also think at the end of the day about what has transpired. I have never wondered how rivers hide their tears but I do wonder often how we hide our own tears. Very well written and I particularly like the tie between a river's tears and a child's fears. It is difficult to imagine the tears of a river and even more difficult to comprehend the fears of a child. Great poem.
