The Jungle Untamed

      - I wish my name was Jane ... and had a pretty
      swimsuit ... (Tarzan yell) - quote by poet

      The jungle waited with deep bated breath
      silence broken by a pack of howler monkeys
      In truth the jungle is never quiet
      morning sun shines through the leaves of the trees
      the air is filled with birdsong
      A sleepy sloth with movements
      as a slow motion movie
      Everyday routines for an effective new day

      Further into the jungle a predator stirs
      Muscles undulate under rosette-dotted fur
      A slender muscular jaguar moves gracefully
      First mission of the day with deadly grace
      The strongest will survive
      the law of the jungle

      It rumbles in the treetops
      elephants wander through dense foliage
      waving their huge ears- no trumpet sound
      Enigmatic giants in silent march

      The jungle changes at sunset
      don't dare stay here at night

Valsa George Date: 7/30/2025 8:48:00 PM The warning at the end is enough to illustrate how dangerous it is to be in an untamed jungle after sunset. Your poem is a beautiful and lively portrait of an untamed jungle. I am sure this is going to be a winner. Lovely write, dear Anne. Hugs
Bill Baker Date: 7/30/2025 6:11:00 PM A delightful read, Anne-Lise, your imagery was enticing and the descriptions of the movement of the animals in the jungle was engaging poetry, my friend. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through your fine poetry. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I Am Anaya Date: 7/30/2025 2:50:00 PM Love the quote, Tarzan is calling, you had me in a few words, voilà. Survival of the fittest. I can hear the crackling of the tree branches. Fact: Elephants get drunk off the figs! :) Faving__Anaya
