The Amazon River

The Amazon River The Capybara wades the shore A Wooly monkey climbs a vine To search for food up on the trees The Amazon that I adore Its total nature I will bind Bromeliads have blushed with love Blending in the waters shore The Jaguar stalks to hunt his food The Anaconda will digest His conquest on the night before Humans carefully sense the mood The Fuana find their time to rest Anteaters sniff upon the floor for ants and bugs to sense for food The Dolphins rise up then they fly Agressively create a scene Boats pass on by and view the sight As a silent Caiman wades on by The quiet of the night serene Stars surround the forest night The Dragonflies decide to fly Stillness in the eerie night Nature's forces will blend in Insects sit on exquisite leaves A struggle of each species plight Resplendent as they'll all akin Coalescing as they interweave The Amazon and all its might Human Nature Contest sponsored by Marugu Mu Ralph Sergi January 28, 2016

Thank you, Harshita: I was actually there and I saw everything in this poem. The Capbara is the largest in the rodent family.

This is a super write,Sergi. You have literally transported the reader to the Amazon. It has always been a must see destination for me, but in my aging years it looks as though this is as close as I will get. Thank you for the enlightening experience. Well done!A7 for sure.
