Notes About The Poem

Into the Jungle

 
I am going on a jungle journey,
and I plunge into a frightening world;
hidden layers of foliage ferny. 

Gazing at me is a very strange bird,
I am drenched in adventure and magic;
and I plunge into a frightening world.

A wrong step or move could be so tragic,
pausing, I smell decay and creeping moss;
I am drenched in adventure and magic.

Moon glows on the river like a caress,
gathering water I drench my body;
pausing, I smell decay and creeping moss.

Through the water slithers something spotty,
could be an anaconda- I shiver ... 
gathering water I drench my body.

She rises and I see her head hover,
I am going on a jungle journey;
could be an anaconda- I shiver _
hidden layers of foliage ferny.
