Rainforests

Rain drops silently
Animals shake their damp coats
Insects sway in the gentle breeze,
Night time slowly vanishes,
Frogs croak with glee.
Owls hoot softly,
Rivulets weave between the roots.
Everywhere the sounds of animals echo.
Spider webs sparkle in the morning mist.
Trees drop, laden with moisture
Sunbeams penetrate the gloom.
