As I walked into the forest, I saw trees and animals.
I saw a deer with a caribou.
I saw a rock that looked like a giant’s big toe.
The clearing got narrower, the bushes caved in,
It led to a place with many more plants and animals.
Monkeys climb and fight with prehensile tails,
Jaguars and sloths move quietly.
Tapirs hide with its friend, an armadillo.
Butterflies flitter-flutter around silently.
Flowers bloom beautifully,
Bromiliads water-filled and occupied.
Trees with roots, bigger than man.
Soil paths turned to rocky paths.
It went back to normal.
A dog ran in front of me, chasing a squirrel;
Chipmunks look for trees to live in.
As I walked into the forest, I saw trees with animals.
