Rainforest Sonnet

When sunlight shines through all,
Glistening rivers and butterflies
Atop flowers of Beauty,as they fall,
The eagle flies as king of the skies.

And in wait, the crocodile lies.
Snakes slither in the undergrowth.
Drops of glistening rain help with the disguise,
Eternal beauty to preserve; swear an oath!

Untouched by the flame of anger to preserve
The glorious day of nature’s light.
And this forest, whom all deserve
To see, to hear - beauty shining o’ so bright.

Beauty so great it is beyond compare.
Light shining eternally everywhere.
