FacebookEditor’s note: We are so pleased to be able to feature Dick Monroe’s writing on the Adirondack Almanack. He previously shared some of his wonderful, insightful essays, poems and stories of his “Adirondack Outlaw” adventures coming of age in Saranac Lake, as well as his outdoor adventures and personal experiences. Read his previous Almanack submissions here and welcome back, Dick! We look forward to you sharing excerpts and snippets of your work with us.
“The River Calling”
My ode to the Saranac River. My lifelong comfort, companion & friend. Its waters flow through my veins. Whether I’m hunting, fishing, exploring, swimming, canoeing or camping, wherever life’s next Adirondack Outlaw adventure takes me, I can hear it calling. Click here below to read the full poem.

I’m delighted that Dick Monroe’s writing is once again
part of the Adirondack Almanack!
The return of Dick Monroe is such good news for all of us who turn to this venue as a local alternative to the mostly dismal social media fare offered elsewhere.
I am certain that whatever subject matter you choose to share with us will enrich the value of this site for all of us through your insights, experiences and good story telling ability.
Welcome back.
Very nice river poem, thanks for sharing.
MY sincerest Thank You to Melissa, Mr. Meyer, Mr. Curth, and to everyone here at the Almanack for welcoming me back & for reading & sharing my poem.
Welcome back~ Enjoyed your poem, too!
Richard’s writings have always touched my soul on some level. Glad he’s back in the Almanac.
Dick, many thanks for your heartfelt ode to the Saranac. Simply beautiful, and expressing what so many of your readers, or songwriters in love with a river might try to express, but not nearly as well as you.
Thank you, David! If there’s a singer/musician/song writer type out there with interest in making “The River Calling” a song, I’m all ears!
Richard,
Glad to see that you’re back writing. Was worried about you brother!
Missed your words.
Thank you for your service, 173rd. Still in the fight. Rangers Lead the Way!
