Again a Big Mistake

Trapped in the midst of a murky forest
traipsed across the length and breadth of jungle
None to speak of, heart turned sick and sorest
I was alone in the dark, I stumbled

Amidst the shrubs, numerous eyes glittered
they chorused"Welcome to the land of bliss"
Cute Bunnies held my hands, not embittered
They took me into the dark vast abyss

Umpteen friends joined us in the welcome pomp
Starting from tireless ants to giant rats
All mingled,played and dived into the swamp
Glad I could hear voices of birds and chats

Days went off;One day I saw an apple
I ate it, ignoring instinct appeal

Imagery intertwined with nature..this poem is so well written, Supraja. You are in your favorite environment...the ending is mysterious.
