Tiny black crabs climb
Up and down my arms and waist
As I drink the humid air

And taste of the salt
That the heron also knows
When she snatches at the clams

That lay at my feet,
Reflect color of my face
In shades of black, red and white...

The Mangrove Forest of Shundarban
There is a forest named Shundarban, 
It's not similar to the forest of Bandarban. 
It's famous for Royal Bengal Tiger, 
It's also famous for deer. 
It's time to save our Shundarban....

Khaki lapped mangroves, sun bouncing transferred
Journeys bright flashes along branches texture
Conveyerbelt spot lights glide, bright pattern superb
Bath tidal shallow travels water's gold reflection 

High heat subdued by horse tail tassled foliage
Sea loving pine hung in bunches, long drapes swung
Salty silt bed rigid roots drink in...

Mangrove Jack
Mangrove Jack
He might attack
Always lurking 
Never twerking 
Twigs in his hair
His smell everywhere 
Dirt under his nails
His creepiness prevails 
Mangrove Jack
He will be back…...

Love Turned a Mangrove Into My Alcove
When doubt nibbled at my soul
Love flew in and turned my mangrove
Scoring the most important goal
That love landed in my alcove

All of sudden the way forward grew clear
Wondering why I couldn’t see
The prize that’s always been mine, holding me dear
Wishing me

Well through thin and thick
Through...

Premium Member ONE OLD RED MANGROVE TREE
On the beach of the island where we love to take a morning walk…
there…down by the sea…
all alone looking out at the ocean stands an old red mangrove tree.

Over the years she has weathered a multitude of storms…
that have left her branches contorted and a...

Premium Member Sunderbans Speaks
Green meets blue, land kisses sea,
Mangrove maze, wild and free.
Tigers prowl, deer leap light,
Nature's dance, day and night.

Muddy banks, roots reach high,
Crocs snap, birds paint the sky.
Salt and fresh, waters blend,
Life begins, life will end.

People fish, brave the tide,
Boats glide where dangers hide.
Honey hunters risk...
