Rockfowl

Cloud forest broken

Sharp rays of sunrise piercing

Through waking branches.

Tropical river

Rushes through tangled forest

Fueled by endless rain.

Restless jungle sleep

Monkey dangles half awake

Alert for danger.

Where river pauses

Tropical trees draped with vines

Mirror endless green.

 

Tiny toes clinging

Lofty perch for jungle frog

Enjoying new view.

Raindrops fill jungle

Gather into waterfalls

Tracing path through green.

 

Mountains growing dark

One last hint of day remains

Sunrays reach through clouds

Flowers fill forest

Glowing from shaded corners

Azalea season.

Fresh new leaves unfold

Clouds form shifting shapes in sky

April’s endless gifts.
