Jeez, Janey... why don't I read more of your poetry? The more I read, the more I seem to like it. "The only wetness above our ankles..." that was a great way to tie the river back in, which was itself tied into the changing seasons (which mirror the changes of love)... all in all, it was very well-connected and complete. I also like how the last line is separate from the way the rest of the poem flows, and it serves to sort of summarize the poem, as well as add in a clearly expressed thought. It's sort of the lightbulb going off for the reader. Ah, I don't know how to explain it, really. Hopefully you know what I mean. Basically, I think the last phrase of a poem is the most important, and this one works well. : )
