The Blackwood River -edited

Nice river-scape Marianne. I think you want a period in place of that comma in that first stanza. It would follow with the capitol ‘Taste’ and give us a breath. You have a three ‘and’ run on between stanzas 2 & 3. You could get rid of that first 'and' in stanza 2 by using ‘flirtation’, couldn’t you (better check your meter though)? I like the alliteration, but wends and winds could be redundant. Your three ‘it’s’ should be ‘its’. I am not certain, but the comma in the close looks like it should go after the parenthetical thought. See what you think. Thanks for sharing your Blackwood River with me./Chris
