What Water Says

The river to the West says "Raging"
The bog to the South says "Serene"
The sea to the East says "Rough"
The lake to the North says "Smooth"
The rain from the sky says "Light"
The ocean on the coast says "Heavy"
The spring from the ground says "Gushing"
The swamp in the wetland says "Still"
The puddle in the rainforest says "Shallow"
And the floor of the sea says "Profound"
