A fog covers the trees Rainbows appear in the dew-covered grass The silence is golden Deep in the foliage, A twig snaps Is it a majestic animal, like a lion? Or a humble animal..like a turtle? A shadow passes over me IS it an eagle? or a falcon? Was that a snake? or the sound of a distant breeze? The sounds fill the air.. The monkey starts chattering The hippos wake from their watery bed The sound of frogs Jumping into the water fill the air The distant roar of a lion can be heard I lift my hands And close my eyes What a wonderful feeling The forest is alive "Superiority to fate is difficult to learn. 'Tis not conferred by any, but possible to earn"--Emily Dickinson-"Superiority of Fate" |

has anyone read this poem yet?  "For every beauty, there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth, there is an ear somewhere to hear it For every love, there is a heart somewhere to receive it".--Ivan Panin |

This is truly lovely. I love forests, especially rainforests, and this says one of things I love about it: What a wonderful feeling The forest is alive That says it all. Nice poem. And I'm sure people read your lovely poetry; they just sometimes don't reply. At least, that's what I hope is happening when so many poems go unread, like mine and a lot of others. Doesn't change the fact that this poem is completely lovely. Like the rest of your poetry.  ~Astraea [This message has been edited by Astraea (edited 02-14-2000).] |

Lavada~~ I liked your poem, and although the title wasn't something I would've considered reading usually, I know you're a good poet and I gave it a chance. Good job, chica... ~Kristi Lynn  "Why does no one sees how hard I cry?" -Me |

Interesting poem. Not something I thought I would read on V-DAY but it was nice. "WRITING IS EASY. ALL YOU DO IS STARE AT A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER UNTIL DROPS OF BLOOD FORM ON YOUR FOREHEAD." Gene Fowler |

I liked this one a lot. I too love the forest. Nicely done, keep it up! *Krista Knutson* One lives in the hope of becoming a memory. ~*Antonio Porchia*~ |
