 Wild berries fell down from the peach tree, 

wide spanned eagles glided harmlessly across the moon, 
menacing owl eyes stared fiendishly downward, 
bushy squirrels clambered the rock with bustling fervor, 
olive green grasshoppers swished their tentacles, 
stinging red ants dug small burrows in wet mud, 
colored magpie birds sang a perfect sonnet, 
lethal alligators swam clumsily through the neighboring water, 
sly foxes galloped at rollicking speeds, 
the princely lion lurked stealthily in search of rich prey, 
huge brown spiders spun their webs in animation, 
century old tortoise trampled the outgrowths with its newly born offspring, 
mega sized mouse families ran past dungeons buried deep in the ground. 
 
I perched myself on the slippery mud bank of the jungle river, 
Levering long fishing rods in the tranquil water, 
Scooping out frequently, a cluster of small sized fish, 
As the stars glittered in the open blue sky, 
Crystal ball of the moon luminated large above my head, 
Rudimentary scent of earth tickled my nostril, 
Mesmerizing tunes of the peacock drifted in hollow eardrum, 
The stillness of water pierced unexplored zones in my heart, 
I then lit a crackling fire of quality wood and dead leaf, 
Roasted the silver fish in amber flames leaping high, 
Slept like an innocent angel all summer night, 
Relishing tender bones of my personally prepared appetizing fish.
