Rain Forest Trek
Sneakers treck through the rain forest
Eyes a wandering through the tree tops
What's that sound we want to know
In the city we do not hear this
The marvel of the monkey ladder vine
From ground to the trees grows strong
Strong enough to become furniture
To listen to your guide is wise
For some of these plants can grab and hold you
Never wanting to let you go
But its okay to breath in the sweet
Fragrance of the incense trees

Thank you, Gillena, for taking me on a rain forest trek with you. I love the mystery of the ‘sound we want to know’ and the monkey ladder vine, but I would be wary of ‘plants can grab and hold you’!

I love the smell of the fragrance of the incense trees. Thanks for the lovely walk.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun taking all these walks through different sorts of forests. I've done the rainforest one..an all-day trek lovely but exhausting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem, Gillena! I used to live surrounded by rainforests. We hiked through it once or twice. It was wild terrain, and one of the times we ended up getting eating alive by red ants. Not fun! Lol!
