As I venture through the leafy darkness
The trees start to encompass me in a cocoon.
I feel the breath of hundreds of animals and plants
The birds chirpings are the annoying alarm clock that spreads throughout the forest.
Cute critters creep through the giant green grass munching on food
Dashing birds dive into the dense grass to snatch the unsuspecting prey.
My forehead felt like a waterfall as I discovered the harshness of the sun
I pleaded for an end to the drone of the chattering noises.
It then dawned on me the need for everything
The animals and plants collaborate to achieve something greater than themself
The selflessness inspired me like water to a parched man.
As I left, nature became a part of my journey to experience the world.
I like the imagery in the line the trees start to encompass me in a cocoon
I like the figurative language “my forehead felt like a waterfall as I discovered the harshness of the sun”
I liked the imagery and similes you used.
I enjoy the repeated use of figurative language.
