Tangled Vines

Getting through the jungle is not so easy
when I have to contend with tangled vines.
Swinging through the trees used to be a breeze,
but now they are growing every which way.
I don’t have a clue about how I got here,
but Jane is always by my side each day.
Civilization?  I have no idea of its meaning.
I can’t explain these objects flying overhead.
Are those the things people use to get there?

Connie Gildersleeve July 3, 2013 at 5:55 PM An interesting take on this theme. "don't let go of the vine." Quote by Tarzan. Remember the movie well. Good luck Robert in the contest. Warm Smiles, Connie
