Comment from June Sargent
I personally like fungi - the kind you can eat - not the mold on walls! The Amazon is a place where vegetation thrives - like exotic orchids. So, I enjoyed this trek through your root-entangled jungle - especially with all the little critters hiding beneath the leaves...

Ciao Marco!
Green is my favourite colour and your art choice I actually found alluring...I enlarged it on my mobile ..stacks of animals, birds, insects and even a fruit
I got this crazy habit ...
When it stops raining, I love to drink the water that collects in plants, flowers.
My Lolita came from the Amazon but she lived in the canopy of the lush forest whilst funghi thrive on the ground where only 2% of sunlight is found.
The trees are a great source of wealth foremost for helping to keep our air clean.
The bark, leaves , seeds sap, roots and fruit have been used for thousands of years by the people of the forest as medicine .. the West has only began to benefit of this immense treasure.
The soil in the rainforests is very poor because all the nutrients of dead matter are continuously being wasted away too fast by the heavy rainfall.
Tree roots hence tend to grow above the ground so they are in direct contact with the decaying matter/ nutrients.

True, the nutrients may be washed away. However, the trees in the Amazon jungle are very tall. The rise and fall of the rivers in some of the jungle flooded woodlands is about 13 meters from the wet to the dry season!

In fact mangroves that are under water have roots that grow high above the water.
Comment from Beri Bee
Its' quite something to envision an overgrown jungle with massive gnarled roots, then focus in on those delicate little fungi finding their space to live and thrive. It's a nice metaphor for life in many forms and spots. (What a picture you've added!) Thanks!

Hey Mark. You know what I'm going to say, right? Because you know what a dork I am?
This is a fine contemporary haiku with a very busy image to focus on! I like it...
Here it comes...
I think only a "FUN GI" could have written it!

What a great picture to go along with your Haiku,
I recently watched a documentary on fungi, what an amazing organism!
I'm sure you know already!
Good luck in the contest!

My writing style is always short poems, usually in the Haiku syllable format. I do like to slip in alliterations into my posts. Longer verses are not within my poetry wheelhouse.
