I was happy... then I read this and I was sad... and poetry usually doesn't do that to me... Good job. I especially like the last two lines.

Wow-that says it all very nicely. Really good poem.

This is a beautiful poem. It's so simple and sweet and yet it captures how I feel when I see old photos of River so well. You are a very talented writer and I hope you continue to write in the future :)

What happened to River Phoenix? It's so sad, I guess he was just too good for this world and he couldn't stay. God Bless him x

That was simply beeyootiful! I feel sad now. You are truly a talented writer.

Aw, so sad. River truly was someone special and your poem is beautiful.

Beautiful poem about a beautiful man. I love River Phoenix and it's comforting to know other people feel the same way. Thank you.

i can't believe i never read this before...(thanks for crediting me) but it's so beautiful, and i love the line about the waterfall...it describes him so well. you are so amazing and never forget that

GOD MAKE ME CRY WHY DON'T YA!That was great. I think the world would be a lot greater place if River wouldn't have died. I hate it when people make it sound like River was a bad person because he wasn't & it wasn't fully his fault that he went downhill. Thank you so much for making that clear in your beautiful holds a special place in my heart even though I never got to met him & I was only 4 when he died but he just has this majestic(u worded it beautifully) quality about him. Well I'm gonna stop rambeling on and on because I could talk about him forever! Love the poem,hope you write more about River soon.
