Island's Golden Radiance! Poem by Michael Gale

Eucalyptus leaves dangle down the back-side
of the island, As Sun's golden radiance
flickers only interrupted by the mildly
calmed breeze! Koala bears hang upside down,
While munching of tantalizing leaves of
succulent, sweet vegetational bliss! The rain
spills over the waterfall's cascading
essence, Meeting with white frothing foam's
ever vibrant fluidity of motions,
intermingling with one another! Monkey paws
swinging down to the floral green jungle,
While the thunderous drums sound deep into
the dank scary regions! Silenced shrunken
heads hang in huts of straw, Panthers of
black, silently pad on by, seeking something
to chew and maw as gnaw!
