Tangled Vines


Getting through the jungle is not so easy
when I have to contend with tangled vines.
Swinging through the trees used to be a breeze,
but now they are growing every which way.
I don’t have a clue about how I got here,
but Jane is always by my side each day.
Civilization?  I have no idea of its meaning.
I can’t explain these objects flying overhead.
Are those the things people use to get there?

    A hunter has no mysterious notions about the jungle. Lovely read.

    An interesting take on this theme. "don't let go of the vine." Quote by Tarzan. Remember the movie well. Good luck Robert in the contest. Warm Smiles, Connie
