FLOOD CONTROL, by                    
First Line: You should have seen the flooded creek today
Last Line: Conceding them life nor questioning their reasons.
Subject(s): Brooks; Streams; Creeks


You should have seen the flooded creek today,
So changed you wouldn't know it, running strong
With the strength of little streams escaping clay
For a while, and frothing, but doing nothing wrong.
Creeks need to go on a tear, reviewing a way
Of flowing they haven't known for ever so long.
Though they run wild they will be back by May
With broader banks, singing a better song,
Reserving a place for weeds and frogs in their seasons,
Conceding them life nor questioning their reasons.
