Poetry and jungle
or jungle and poetry
are one and the same.

Letters like leaves,
leaves like letters.

Words like twigs
or twigs like words.

Lines resembling trees
or trees resembling lines.

Really, to me
poetry and jungle
or jungle and poetry
are one and the same.

I read a poem
and experience a delight
one feels walking alone in the forest.

I stroll about in the forest
and experience a pleasure
that springs from reading
a poem all alone in the room.

To get lost deliberately in the forest,
and to delve deep down in a poem,
reap the same delight.

You agree or not,
but to me,
poetry and jungle
or jungle and poetry are similar,
one and the same…..

You are at liberty to call it anything.
But I put a question to you;
isn't jungle too a poem of the nature?
