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!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Christiane, you give details of the water-life in the Amazon. More than Piranhas, we have come to know Arapaima & Tambaqui ... does the Electric Eeel have a Spanish title? Good going. Dr. Deo
