Comment from June Sargent
I get the sense of a brook spreading a bit of gossip that causes a rift. Maneuvering around behind the scenes. Great imagery and a fine entry to your book of silent voices

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an extremely interesting lune poem. The reader can sense the brook as the physical heart of the moon's crescent. The imagery is very satisfying. kay

Comment from lyenochka
This is so clever. You take the phrase of "babbling brook" and it not only personifies the brook but with the last line, it shows how some people "babble" and divide the country with their conspiracies. Good idea to use this for the Lune contest and still add to your Napowrimo!
Best wishes in both!

Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-3-5, Meddling Brook, has the proper formatting and uses the "coming between" variation of the 'middle' word to imply that the brook separates to pieces of land, or simply keeps two ideas apart, metaphorically.

Comment from Gloria ....
Very nicely written, Jessica. A river, or stream makes for an apt metaphor particularly in combination with personification.
My only suggestion is that one of the characteristics of a lune poem, is that it mirrors the shape of a crescent moon. I am not certain how stringent the committee is on this point though, so just something to consider.
Wishing you all the best with the Contest Committee with this accomplished write.

You do these so well, Jess! Your river themes are always a joy to read and this one 'flows' with lovely atmospheric imagery and alliteration, making it a perfect entry for the lune poem contest. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Beautiful, Jess. Snaking through the divides, and although the other side may not be reachable, you can see what may be in store.
Best, JohnC

Comment from Mark Jackson
Poetically I like it I like the image of a river snaking (although it has been used before). I like the babbling brook (reminds me of Tennyson's the Brook) The final line is a Volta looking at the situation form different eyes. Geographically there are issues as I feel you are describing a glacial valley which takes the direction of least resistance as opposed to a rift valley which are famously straight. I really do like it though, I am only joking about the geography bit.
