Constance La France Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Breathtaking

Blissful, stunning,  BEAUTIFUL  is my dream- where I am lost in a green
rainforest,  d r i p p i n g , and lush. Sultry with mist and haze, and 
echoing is a tiger's roar hidden. For a moment it silences the BIRDS
and then, they resume their rambling beautiful  s o n g
tenfold.  A purple butterfly drifts by and I push aside wet magnificent leaves
hypnotised by the amazing foliage. I see that on my arm are many vines
twining. In the  BREATHLESS  hush, my long  t a n g  l e d  hair is billowing
as I travel on  s e a r c h i n g  in my wondrous steamy journey
knowing, that the rainforest's curious creatures are watching me, oh
incredible is a  BLUE  hissing snake and an amazing little orange frog
nourishing itself on a  w e t  ravaged leave. My mind is alive with thoughts,
glorious and astounding. Words are creeping with rapture, to my dripping pen.

CayCay Godwin March 11, 2016 at 10:44 AM I was okay, dreaming with you, until I got to the snack - they are nightmares to me! This poem is a joy and delight to read, I like the content and phrasing very much ... CayCay Constance La France March 11, 2016 at 5:23 PM CayCay, that was so funny, yes snakes not snacks, you must have been hungry, although I thought you were thinking the hissing snake was having the amazing frog for a snack, but no, just two amazing creatures in the rainforest, thanks so much for visiting my poem and for the nice comment, appreciate ! CayCay Godwin March 11, 2016 at 10:46 AM Until I got to the snack! No, I would love a snack, it is snakes, snakes not snacks that frighten me. I think I'll go cook something. I hope you are having a fulfilling day ... CayCay
