Rain Forest a Collaboration

The trees soar high into the sky 
Monkeys dangling, now swing 
filling the air with screeches 
Colourful parrots take to wing 
of reds, yellows and oranges 
drowned by the dripping water. 

Man-eating plants on guard, 
Fresh rivers of fruit and bark 
ground to the gorilla 
Orchids of oxygen supply the wind 
Vines hang peacefully throughout 
the rainy garden. 


~A Poet Destroyer Collaboration~

It breathes! I like your collab, Shadow. A seemingly simple subject, yet if one aspect is lacking, the image would fall flat. But this one is alive! Congrats to you two for this successful collab! hugs!
