Day In the Jungle

toucans and hornbills
stifling humidity
welcome to jungle

orange orangutan
wisely avoids bees ballroom
where bees congregate

wild boar’s carcass
rotting from limb of a tree
warns us of leopard

a decorative fairy queen
clarifies jungle beauty
red jungle fowl laughs

vines shrubs and grasses
do not slow down the monkeys
i look up and smile
