The cool running river,

Flowing freely without a care in the world.

Shiny slippery stones covered in water,

Small fish flapping in the river.

Up above the sun is beating down like a drum,

Rocks as sharp as kitchen knives.

By the river bank the tree is a

parasol shading the water.

In the air the eagle is a fighter jet.

The River

Dancing fish putting on a show for the green river plants,

Fabulous fish as fast as the Red Arrows.

Smooth smashed shells sunk to the bottom of the river bed,

Small snappy crabs tickling toes.

The rock is an Iron Celtic shield,

Sitting at the bottom of the cold crooked cracked river bed.
