The Jungle (Lira)

by Italian Stallion   Jan 24, 2010


Profound darkness; enriched light
surround nature - suffocated by the roots.
Survived: yellow meadow bright,
amoungst fresh evergreen shoots.
Embraced, natures colorful hues: wild fruits.

    Your last line may be off by one syllable-other than that beautiful nature poem-could be about a tropical forest or a jungle-either or a wonderful job.
