The chorus of the rainforest filled the air,

And echoed all around.

A choir of birds sang,

And created a tremendous

sound.

The jade green city shone,

And all was bright and well.

Until blue turned to inky black,

And birds grew fear and fell.

Thin cracks of lightning

Emerged from the cloud

Splitting the sky in half.

Menacing  rainclouds lay

Large and proud.

And only chaos was heard

The storm howled over them

And echoed through the night

Only a miracle of nature

Could save them from that sight

Until, at last the danger,

Trickled out of sight.

But the animals will never forget,

When the storm hit that night.
