Mangrove Forests
By Mason W
When you walk into a mangrove forest,
you will feel the spiky roots
in between your toes
squishing and snapping the twisted, tangled roots.
When you're in a mangrove forest,
if you're quiet you'll hear
the high pitch whistling of a sea eagle
flying with mangrove litter for its nest.
When you're in a mangrove forest,
you can smell and taste
the salt in the air
like a soggy, salty chip.
When you walk out of a mangrove forest,
you'll know the wild and wonder
of the saltwater home
to all creatures great and small.
