Filtering light between green leaves
Sheltered boughs; as under eaves
Shimmering in the sunlight's glare
Cascading Lianas, long and bare
Monkey's crouching; swinging far
Nimbly searching, scratching; ah
Multi-coloured birds on high
Sighing; cooing; flying by
Titters and tatters of fleeing hoards
Stretching, streaming of vocal cords
Lions and tigers; slinking by
Hoping and charming with their eye
Snarling, growling, prowling round
Watching, waiting, sniffing ground
Sighting, searching; lost without a doubt
Into some other preying mouth
Wrote this in high school in 1974
