River Rock 'r Roll

Contest prompt: use only one letter

River Rock ‘r Roll


Roar, roiling river
Ripping ‘round rocks,
Raging ruthlessly,
Ravaging roots, rangeland, roads.

Ranchers react,
Re-enact revenge,
Rig ridges, riprap,
Relentless reconstruction.

Rains relent,
River reduced.

Raft riders recreate,
Reach ramps,
Reverse, return,
Re-enter rivers,
Regaling
Riotous
Raconteurs.

Romping runoff,
Ringing rhythms;
Rivulets, ripples,
Running rhymes;
Rivers roam, relaxed.
