'Backpaddle again, up streams of turbulent rumblings'
Your rowing metaphor (God I hope I interpreted that right) really resounds, as I've been doing it all day... but it leaves a greater symbolic impact, of course, than the physical actions it connotes; but it's still good to really get into a metaphor like that.
'Plead with the gods as you wish for warmth
taste Ice'
That was another one which struck me this evening. The river sure was cold today... but also the scope of meaning there is extraordinarily immense.
I love it when you can apply personal reflections to others' poetry.
