Free Verse Poem

The tropical banks of the Amazon river turn the most beautiful shade at sunset. During the day, its a luscious green and a leafy configuration of plant and animal life.
But at sunset, the sky bathes the leaves in crimson red, and the animals seem to watch and wait.
Its a sight that silences the world.
And then, ask quickly as it happened, the forest returns to its dark green shroud once again.
