River Behaviour

Rusty colours Immature eddies Various swirls by meeting the shallows Easy life for birds – paddling and schmoozing Robust banks discipline the flow Rapid somewhat move through the narrows Under river fish playing with the water Naughty fish playing! Shallow deposits Steady talking water Timid waves throw floating leaves Energetic dog puts splashy paw prints Along the smoother bank Diving dipping bird: it has dived to fish Young river to grand river ------------------------------------------------------------------ Rumblings Irritable eddies Violent swirling Eager fish only challenge it Rapids Raving bank smashes Unprovoked now provoked Nasty river messages Surprising depth Water rush Ill tempered negotiating Living a struggle Deaths
