The River by Valerie Bloom

The rivers a wanderer,


A nomad, a tramp.
He doesn't choose any one place
To set up his camp.

The rivers a baby,


He gurgles and hums,
And sounds like hes happily
Sucking his thumbs.

The rivers a winder,


Through valley and hill
He twists and he turns,
He just cannot be still.

The rivers a singer,


As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.

The rivers a hoarder,


And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.

The rivers a monster,


Hungry and vexed,
Hes gobbled up trees
And hell swallow you next.
