The Rainforest

By Elizabeth L.

 

 

Wet, damp, humid.

Trees, everywhere,

tall, reaching for the heavens.

Animals staring down at me.

Ahhh, a mouse, a rodent, runs by.

 

 

All of that beauty

in the tropical rainforest

stuns me.

The colors. The shapes.

They whirl around in my mind.

The animals look at me.

 

 

The animals say something to me,

they say it with their eyes.

"Save me from the gunshots,

the loggers.

Please save me and my home."
