Rainforests

I can see...
Terrific, tall trees with all twists and turns, scatter instantly into my sight,
I walk up to the colourful plants, they are a quarter of my height.
The barren rainforest was as calm as a koala resting in a tree,
The stupendous waterfall was a glorious place to be.

I can hear...
"Splash, splash, splash" as fast frogs flop carefully into the waterfall,
As I walk through the mammoth rainforest, I hear a faint call.
The rainforest is a delightful dog, it made just one big sound.
"Pitter patter, pitter patter" as the rain drops hit the ground.

I can feel...
I sit down carelessly on a lumpy log, wishing for a break,
There's so many crunchy leaves, this supercool rainforest needs a rake.
The bark sitting on the decrepit tree was an old rusty key,
As I trudge through the empty rainforest, I can feel a flea!
