Poem Title:
Poem
it was sizzling hot scorching blazing sweltering - oh the unbearable heat (from the relentless sun above) the sweat was rolling off me in sheets (I was drenched in perspiration) I was being pummeled by the sun I was clammy (sticky and damp) there was no cloud cover only a canopy to provide shade (my clothes were wet with moisture) hair fell straight and damp I kept brushing wisps from my face it was steaming hot - there had been no rainfall there was a drought I was parched I was dreaming of cool water of diving in and swimming and swimming (into the coolness) I wanted to escape to have an icy lemonade to immerse myself in coolness but the sun did not understand (it was unforgiving) this is what I had wanted a vacation in the jungle so here I was waiting for the tour of the rainforest (to commence) it did not help that I was having an affair with a man ardent lustful erotic (and steaming hot) he was the picture of coolness in his khaki shorts (I was thinking of later) finally we left the canopy (as the temperature soared) and began the jungle trek the first thing I noticed was the humidity it felt like steam was rising up (under this new canopy of the rainforest) there was a haze a mist (it felt so sultry) and the birds oh the birds calling so loud deafening in the lush fauna so green and wet (dripping) we hiked high above the forest floor on a suspended hanging bridge (that swayed) somewhere I heard a waterfall it bubbled deep below oh I wished we could go there (but no) it was wonderful really with beautiful scenes the conservation of animals amazing and plants wondrous but I could not live in this humidity yet M U S E liked it very much she got very inspired the words kept coming and coming her head filled with the scenery and sounds she was on fire non stop words (whispering) the rainforest is full of treasures inspiration to behold (it really was a great adventure) in this steamy magical jungle and of course the sizzling guy was very nice (and )when we kissed later it was like fire blazing _______________________________ July 23, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/the sizzling rainforest "dripping" Copyright Protected, ID 15-692-873-0 All Rights Reserved.
