Context:
Towards the origin of the river I seek,
Along the rugged path that is winding.
Defying the wild torrent with iron will,
As though I have stood on the shoal.
@oristarA,
You ask
"that is winding"? is the expression awkward here?
The naswer is no, it's a good expression. It is a more poetic way of saying 'the winding road' which would be the more usual word order (adjective preceding noun) in English. But there is absolutely nothing wrong -- or awkward -- in writing it the way you have it.
Oristar, I like that very much.
The "origin" of a river is its source.
Stumble It!
