    The River: by Valerie Bloom

    Uploaded by

    The document is a poem that uses personification to describe a river. It describes the river as having many faces or roles: a wanderer and nomad because it doesn't stay in one place; a winder because it twists and turns through the landscape; a hoarder because it hides treasures in its depths; a baby because of the gurgling sounds it makes; a monster because it is hungry and could swallow things; and a singer because its flowing water makes echoes that sound like songs. The poem then matches words to their meanings and fills in blanks to reinforce these personified descriptions of the river.
