What a beautifully written, poem. Your great word choice, description paints a vivid picture in the reader's head. Makes us feel, wish we were there with you. It puts the reader in a tranquil mood as well. Good luck with your contest.

This poem, Jungle Waterfall, uses the needed words: rain - steam - bellow - song, and sets a scene for a cool experience in the dreamland jungle lagoon. Nice.

This work brought me that much closer to going on that tropical vacation covid's been keeping everyone from. :-) Thank you! Was there a reason for the first line existing outside of the rhyming scheme? I think you could play with that even more--what gets included, and why.

    Good luck with that tropical vacation - it won't be happening any time soon probably.
    With my rhyme scheme, I don't like to be too predictable because it begins to sound too sing-song to my ear. I thought "vines" and "entwined" were close enough in sound to provide a rhyme at the beginning.

    I was soothing myself into a nice place while writing it. If only I could travel again I'd be inclined to seek such a place.
    Thanks for your review comments.

It will be a sad day if these forests no longer exist. I can't believe that there are people who are willing to tear them down to make money, meaning all that beauty will be lost forever. A well written, descriptive piece of writing. I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest!

    Thanks for reviewing! I agree with you; it's tragic how much forestry is being destroyed - it's such short-term thinking.
