Group A:
The river flows, a silver thread,
Through valleys green and meadows spread,
Group B:
Reflecting skies of azure hue,
Whispering tales both old and new.
Group A:
It ripples past the ancient trees,
Where sunlight dances on the breeze,
Group B:
And whispers secrets, soft and low,
To flowers blooming in a row.
All:
The river flows, a constant hum,
A symphony of nature's drum,
A lifeblood flowing, strong and free,
A song of peace for all to see.
Group A:
It carves its path through rocky land,
A testament to time's command,
Group B:
And joins the ocean's vast domain,
A boundless journey, never in vain.
All:
The river flows, a timeless rhyme,
A melody of peace and time,
A gift of nature, pure and bright,
A beacon guiding through the night.
This example uses two groups, A and B, to read alternating lines of the poem. The effect is similar to a call and response, creating a sense of dialogue and movement within the poem. This structure can be adapted with different groups, more or less complex poems, and variations in the reading style for a dynamic and engaging experience.
