The River poem and questions

The River

The river’s a hoarder

and he buries down deep

Those little treasures

 that he wants to keep.

The river’s a baby,

he gurgles and hums

And sounds like he’s happily

sucking his thumbs.

The river’s a singer,

as he dances along

The countryside echoes

the notes of his song.

The river’s a monster,

hungry and vexed

He’s gobbled up trees

and he’ll swallow you next.

What character denotes to the sense of hearing?
