Intensity River and Lake- -

 Intensity RIVER AND LAKES—
The lands have a sore throat;
Because of this harsh winter;
Like a trachea a winding way to the mouth;
Also does a river flows it too has water a mouth;
Temperate lows and frigid temperatures- when warmed rising waters;
Freezing of the watered holes
Intensity , Disrupts the natural flooding cycles 
Major reduced flowing drains wetlands-when warmed rising waters;
Intensity, But alas this hard torrid winter snow and ice running over lands;
Has treated cuts Rivers off from their floodplains-when warmed rising waters;
Intensity, This isn’t so nice many tributary streams to high now
Flooding the plains and inundates riparian habitats running over lands;
Intensity, Great lakes gives us benefit providing water, 
Food for human use water purification for the cities and the nations 
So tasty and beautiful pure clean water rivers and nutrients  
To support ecosystems importance of rivers carries all around the earth.
They play a very important part in the water floats
Intensity much snowing snowed in winter’s storms;
Intensity now spring has sprung it’s now ever so warm;
Intensity Melting’s of Icy waters and jams;
Intensity Reeking havoc on animals and man;
Intensity S O S for land for earth,-when warmed rising waters
This harsh winder has taken a toll on us-when warmed rising waters
For all the turmoil flooding on the Midwest Rivers and Lakes;
Help us all Lord for heaven’s sake Intensity
Rushing waters on Rivers and Lakes;
