An Amazon Adventure

An Amazon Adventure
A Narrative Poem by C Russell

Let’s go, let’s go to the Amazon far,
We’ll catch a boat, won’t need a car!

Let’s see, let’s see the wildlife here,
Jaguar, anteater and white tailed deer.

Let’s travel, let’s travel along the river, too
Down the rapids in our wooden canoe.

Let’s find, let’s find some curious fish,
To see a piranha that is my wish.

Let’s climb, let’s climb the tallest tree,
Then go for a swim with a manatee.

Let’s fly, let’s fly with parrots so high!
Above the leaves all the way to the sky.

Let’s rest, let’s rest under some shady tree,
And watch the White cheeked spider monkey.

Let’s sleep, let’s sleep high up in the canopy,
Next to a giant sloth and his family.

Let’s dream, let’s dream of the flowers so bright,
While a million stars twinkle at night.

The Amazon

The Amazon
By C. Russell

Water flowing fiercely
Blue and green and brown;
I’m wanting to see clearly
Through your liquid gown!

The Armoured Catfish wriggles
Through the sticky mud.
Arapaima gliding,
Splashing with a thud!

The Tambaqui quietly
Searches for a seed
From the nearby rubber tree;
A giant fish indeed!

Pancake stingrays dancing
A watery ballet,
Piranhas darting here and there,
Inviting you to stay!

The electric Eel,
What can I say?
Don’t get too close,
Or you will pay!
