The Anaconda

The river is an anaconda!

Its slimy, slick, scaly body

Slithers silently through

the jungle of mountains,

searching for the sea.

 

It hisses over stones,

pours down waterfalls,

glides along vast wetlands.

The anaconda swiftly

slides through deep canyons

calmly slipping

between lush verdant reeds.

Constantly continuing

its everlasting odyssey

towards the ocean.
