It was quiet, dark, no flow, all calm
It started early with a trickle, the flow increased
Then it was a flood, many bores
surge caught on snags and
channels became blocked, impatience rained.
Up the Portway, under the bridge, into the city
Different routes found, diversions abound
Slowly, the dams broke and cleared
Dry, empty pools filled, basements soon choked..
The levels rose higher
The current lessened, it was high tide.
Bristolians now at work.
