Rainforest
Beautiful bromeliads basking in the sun
A gang of poisonous frogs look like they’re having fun
Cool carnivorous plants in the tree tops
Colossal carnivorous snakes slithering in the lush undergrowth
Beautiful birds chirping in the tree tops
I can hear the sky crying. Plop!
The croaks of lots of frogs
Dry leaves crunching as I walk
Worry creeping up my spine
Mosquitoes biting my poor skin
Malaria, sickness, dizziness -I need to fight it off!
The stink of the corpse flower. Disgusting!
Rotting bark as I walk past
Damp soil drenched by rain.
