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, 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 !

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
