Dangerous High Bridge
Public Service Announcement Refreshing air fills your lungs, 420 feet above the river. Inhale the sweet aroma of evergreen trees, and experience scents the wind brings to you. The cascading, rushing river renews life. Ravens and eagles soar, calling in joyous freedom, catching updrafts. Giant evergreen trees stack the hillsides or create river turns with their fallen branches. Some days, clouds of cumulus, stratus, or cirrus float above, shifting into animal shapes. Vaping or smoking sullies the clean air. Forbidden. Campfires, loud music, and alcohol drinking and partying destroy the serenity. Forbidden.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Nicely concise! Great job Mariann! 😊
This one is really emotive, well done Mariann ☺
Wow!! I literally had the hair on my arms stand up! You captured an eerieness in such a short piece! This was well written and thought provoking.
Got the shivers and I know the spirits are out there,
Chilling, Mariann! Silence can be isolating, indeed.
Whoa, this left me with a chill in my bones... Good acrostic poem, well done!
Whoaaaa, I saw your reply to Sarah. That was such a creepy experience. Loved your Acrostic!
Well-written and Powerful!
Very beautiful Mariann. I like the way it flowed
Very well written in such a dark tone
That last line felt creepy.
Well done Mariann ❤️ I felt this one. Our loved ones presence remains ❤️
Nicely done, Mariann.
Whenever I walk into my mom's bedroom, I can still fell her there. She died in 2016 but never really left but, yes, she never makes a sound.
Everything feels so muffled.
Very good acrostic Mariann!!💖💖
Beautiful poem!
