I really like this haiku, Kerry. It is particularly succinct as a haiku should be. The images are clear in the first two lines and you have a wonderful Satori. Good luck with it, Giddy

This work has reached the exceptional level

How incidental! That the Author should write of "Jungle Vines." I'm know as "Junglefightger" on FanStory. God! What awesome vines for me to swing on.
And the rain forest pulls me, " like a magnet!" And the monkeys playground is,
is my home, "away form home." Please, Lord! Lead me to the Smoky Mountains.
For my loin-cloth is tattered and worn! And may you bless this commendable Author. For she is your Angel, with wing of gold. An awesome message, Kerry! And I wish you, "Good health and happiness. forever and ever.

Respectfully,
Bill (Junglefithter).

Kerry, this is a fine 3-3-4 haiku that resonated with me because I am now vacationing on a mountain above Puerto Vallarta. Vines are everywhere! We do not have monkeys here, but I can imagine them playing among the vines.

My only suggestion is to add a possessive apostrophe: monkeys' playground.

Thank you for sharing.

I like your 3-3-4. :P This is really cool and I love the photo. Without the picture, I could see monkeys swinging on the vines--like Tarzan's Cheeta. Where's Jane? :P

While I enjoyed the word economy in this very much, Kerry, I do have a couple of issues with the overall composition.
For one, I don't notice a "kigo", or seasonal reference, at all.
Secondly, monkeys, meaning plural, or more than one, should read as follows:
monkeys'. Meaning that this play ground belongs to the monkeys. If you're just referring to a single monkey, even then it would read with an apostrophe "s":
monkey's.
But what are the odds that just one monkey would be using this playground?
Not very likely, LOL.
Add a kigo of some sort (rainy season, warm rain--whatever), then punctuate "monkeys" properly and you got it licked.
So sorry if my review drove you bananas. Heh-heh-heh...
