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.

Michael,
Wow...
that is an awesome poem!
Congratulations to the amazing and talented Hugo!
I see the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree! Does he paint, too? The whole family (especially grandpa, Michael) must be so, so proud of your amazing grandson!
I enjoyed the poem very much! I thought it was your write...until I read your comment!
Such an honor for Hugo to have his poem published in an anthology of children’s poetry!
~Laura~
P.S. - Love the painting, grandpa!
We are proud of him. He stopped over last night and is a real young gentleman - a real pleasure to have him. He saw your your review before he left and was really chuffed (as we say here in the UK) . I was as well - thanks for your very generous comments Laura.
You’re very welcome!
I honestly thought it was penned by you and I meant every word I said in my comments!
I’m loving some of your UK words/expressions! I’ve actually used some of them. I’m compiling a list!
Ah Laura - you must share it with me. One of the difficulties is that we take them for granted not knowing if they are recognised or indeed used beyond our shores.
A fine write there by Hugo!
About that apple tree of Laura's - you got all your sandwiches? I'm one short of a picnic, as they say!
🍎😉
Cheers Orchi - Not sure about the sandwich - still suffering from the direct hit on the noddle by a Granny Smith.

Very good write from Hugo, he will go far.
He will indeed - while here he was doing homework and revising for a test tomorrow.
A very conscientious boy, you must be very proud of him.
We are as we are with all our grandchildren. They are all super kids.
HI UNCLE MICHAEL : A Grandson Hugo indeed : BRIAN & I are jealous : The earliest we can have a CHILD is 2021 because we don't believe in CONCEPTION before MARRIAGE OK ! Nurture HUGO all you can : Thats what G-DADS are for ! My Grandparents live in SEVILLA but I will see them next YEAR ! Loved your Abstract (it is upside down !) Did you like the Modern Nativity Painting I posted I love the TWO WISE MEN ! I printed your Painting and ORIENTATED it through 180 degrees ! It was bigger than in the Poem and it clearly was RAINBOW MAN on his Scooter. He comes from Planet Technicolour which is in the Visible Spectrum and 200 light years from PLANET EARTH. Thanks for FANTASYING : Love to You & Hugo :
ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Th abstract is just that - you can have it any way up you like - and I admire your resolve and I love Sevilla - long time since I was last there.
Nicely penned Hugo. Your grandpa taught you well.
I enjoyed reading your words. Keep writing! 🙂
Thanks Tamara - he will really appreciate your comments . He's a grand lad.
You're welcome. He's a great lad because he was taught by his grandpa. 🙂
