A River Is Near
by Elliot H.

Danger! Danger! A river is near. Wild and crazy and out of control. Raging waters and deadly waves they
Scream and shout as It pulls you under.

Danger! Danger! A river is near.
You stretch for the surface
To feel air in your lungs.
The harder you try the
Harder it pulls you down.

Danger! Danger! A river is near. You hear people screaming and Swimming to rescue you.
You feel an arm pull you up
And bring you to safety.

Danger! Danger! A river is near. You are safe for now.
Fresh air in your lungs, but
Be careful for you never know
When the danger of a river is near

Rivers
by Zach S.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Rivers are, too!

Some rivers are big,
some rivers are strong.
Some rivers are girly,
and not very long.

Some rivers are rough,
Some rivers are tough.
Some are real slow...
They're not interesting enough.

Some rivers are shallow,
Some rivers are deep.
All good shepards know to drink upstream from the sheep.

When I think of rivers,
I think of fishing.
Some people throw money in the water, and use the river for wishing.

Some rivers are big,
Some rivers are small.
I've run out of clever rhymes,
So I guess that's all.

Rivers
by Nikki F.

Young river, young man
Settles down because they can Young man gets a family,
And the river came in handy
Young man had a boy,
And still the river brought joy
Now the man is getting old,
And the river is getting cold
Young kid, old river
Seen so much seen so little
Young kid is trying hard
And the old river shrunk a yard
Dry old river I love you so,
Wish you wouldn't have to go.
