Holiday on Bohol, Part 2: Jungle Living

Tiny pin pricks of light

      dabble through palm leaf lattice.

A gentle patter of rain

drums down on distant leaves.

Goats play and joust

while insects flutter.

Unknown beasts call out shrieking,

unseen from forest walls of every shade of green.

Mosquitoes feast on fresh white flesh,

as giant ants walk in ordered file.

Salamanders run along shadowy beams,

then stop, then run.

The symphony of jungle of life,

lingers long and touches deep.
