Proper Jungle Attire

We could cross the copse with ease
yet risk no wound to our knees,
if we'd wear our heavy boots
and watch hidden roots of trees.

a jueju (quije) March 9, 2020
4 lines, 7 syllables each.

Jungle demands ease
don't injure your knees.
Heavy hiking boots
handle those tree roots.

thanks, Eve, and a little like the coronavirus, a complete covering might be the best choice over boots (or a mask). Appreciate your reply.
