ESCAPE (by Hugo) 

 

 

 

I wake up to the rainforest sounds

Humming birds damp wet grounds

I breathe in the forest air

Wind in my eyes, dirt in my hair.

 

I get up ready to explore

I don’t miss one bit being indoors

I’m out here now one with nature

Last thing I said to my friends was ‘See you later’

 

I put on my muddy khaki shirt

Wearing it again for another day won’t hurt

I put on my hiking boots and start to run

Today’s adventure is going to be fun.

 

I pass the ruins and the temple too

They were a tourist attraction before the vines grew

My Grandpa said they’re deadly and constrict you

Leaving you unconscious and praying to be rescued.
