The Jungle
by Kathryn Egnew
Shadows flicker:
tawny eyes hover
in soft green underbrush as
golden-striped paws
pad softly through drooping vines.
Waiting,
fur-tipped ears swivel and turn,
hearing all that moves.
No sound,
whether it be a chirping bird of paradise,
a slithering green snake,
or a croaking red tree frog,
can escape.
This lithe powerful mass of fur
teeth
and muscle
hears it all.
The tiger
will wait.
The Wild Ride
by Hattie Geist
Taking a deep breath,
we prepare for the shock of chilly water.
Plugging our noses,
we jump.
Slim bodies slice through the surface of the lake:
icy cold takes my breath away.
Breathing hard, I calm frozen nerves;
Then numbness settles in.
Grabbing the scratchy, yellow rope to the tube
I swim it over to the boat.
Pulling ourselves up onto the tube we yell "hit it!"
The roar of the engine
breaks the peaceful silence of the morning.
The tube speeds through the water,
wind rushes through wet hair,
toes dangle
into choppy, uneven water.
Bouncing over the wake, the tube spins
into serene water,
untouched by the boat's motor.
Spinning back over the wake again,
we hit a bump.
My wet hands
slip
from the tube's sleek surface.
Sailing through the air,
I fly like a bird.
Then I drop:
the lake's black water swallows me.
My head pops up, teeth chattering.
A grin on my face
I swim back to the tube
for another ride.
