Rainforest Dreams

Sweet dreams of the tropical rainforest

In the shadows of the jade moonbeams;

Making love in the dark, content as a lark

come and hide in the shadow of my dreams...

Come bathe in the jungles of the rainforest

among the orchids and the bromeliad;

Safe from the piranha,and the anaconda

among the water lilies we will wade...

In the sanctuaries of parrots and toucans

the tall bamboo and the moss doth drape;

Just the iguana's and the liana

under the blanket of our jade dreamscape...

Awaken to the abundance of sweet flora,

turquoise waterfalls and song of fauna...

A "jade dreamscape" is such a delectable image! The colors here run cool, the whole poem very dream-like and tempting, and your flora and fauna are present and living.

Thank you for writing.
You have painted a vivid picture here. All of the colors of the rainforest have come alive and I enjoy that you did not use generic flora and fauna but mentioned the specifics - orchids, parrots, etc as that added the little touches that provide so much flavor.
I enjoyed the rythmn except that in the last line of the first stanza could there have been an extra beat? It may just have been my ear but it sounded that way. If I can be so picky you can tell that I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the use of internal rhyme.
It has a Kipling feel to me, if Kipling had not been such a prig.
Well done!
