April 4, 2025 Context for the Poem “Delta”

Today’s prompt was a word that I knew but did not know was a botanical term: “Deltoid”. I have never quite noticed how the cottonwood tree produces triangular leaves, or that the veins on the leaves resemble the mouths of the world’s great rivers.

That word and context made me think of the triangle, the delta shape, and from there to memories along the Mississippi River.
