Let's us see who got the talent here..Remember, the stanza has to do with metaphor! As usual, the best poem will be published in my blog's 'hall of fame'! Happy trying!

Below are some examples of creative stanza-writing.
You may refer to the ideas on how to write your own stanzas.

The river’s a conquerer
For he’s never afraid.
He is a seeker
Never ceases to raid.

The river’s a tummy,
Rumbling and grumbling, he seems
Eating and eating and eating and eating
Till he bursts at his seams.

The river’s a father,
He’s kind but forgetful
He takes care of us all
Even when his hands are full.

The river’s a savior,
A life-giver, a provider,
He’ll always be there
For all to share.
