Nature in the Forest

Upon the moist damp, rocky ground.

Animals lurk in the pitch-black night.

Green moss crowds the rigid rock.

The wind is like a dog barking for food.

Wild dogs bark

In pursuit of prey.

Snakes slither hissing along the path.

Deeper in the forest more challenges appear.

The strong current of the forever-ongoing river

Appears to house a saltwater crocodile 

Skulking at great depths 

Of the shivering cold water.

The trees sway from side to side.

Dirt gets swept in your eyes.

Hollow logs hide secret homes

With rats and echidnas inside.

Trails heading through the bush

Help humans see the beauty of animals.
