Feel of the Rainforest
Humid warmth surrounds
Reaches under
Arms, between
Legs
Brushes wet
Around
Neck
Humid warmth surrounds
Reaches under
Arms, between
Legs
Brushes wet
Around
Neck
Mists touch
Tentative fingers
Rain starts
Shirts cling
Stick
Weigh down
Breath stealing
Down pour
Forces eyes heavily
Closed
Wet clay
Mud
Grabs to
Claim boots
Sandals lost
Cakes onto
Calves
Thighs
Stringy vines
Brush
Sweaty cheek
Rough bark
Scrapes elbows
Waxy leaves
Slip
Between
Finger tips

I love the rainforest theme that is emerging here!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. I think I need to go back to Costa Rica, again. I'm not sure I have a ll the memories just right. If I write some poems while I'm there, I should be able to write the trip off on my taxes ... right.
