Day Fourteen-NaPoWriMo-The Rise of a Riotous Song

NaPoWriMo: today, try writing a poem that describes a place, particularly in terms of the animals, plants or other natural phenomena there. Sink into the sound of your location, and use a conversational tone. Incorporate slant rhymes (near or off-rhymes, like “angle” and “flamenco”) into your poem. And for an extra challenge – don’t reference birds or birdsong!

Here's my take:

Henri Rousseau-Tropical Forest with Monkeys-1910

The river gurgled through the rocky bend

the hills woke up to the screeching calls

the chatter and gibber in the backdrop fend—

the chirps, the buzz, the hiss, and the clicks—
