Constance La France Poet Jueju

Jungle

            a paradise of plumage, 
swoops through the tall tangled trees,
spreading seeds in the forest-
      loud calls and songs fill the breeze . . .

                 a glass butterfly,
with transparent wings,
rests on a wet fern-
          oh such lovely things!
