Rousseau paints green
on the jungle canvas
his yellow parrots
parade on jagged limbs
where jaguars sleep
jade in verdant shadows
mottled leaves dry
from an afternoon rain
and sun-threads reign
over jaundiced puddles
where parrots drink
and the Paraclete
sleeps shuttered
in the jaguar's keep

Oh I love how you write Mr Harvey, you have such a distinct way of writing. I always know the words have and my favourite stanza has got to be:
'mottled leaves dry
from an afternoon rain
and sun threads reign
over jundiced puddles'
Beautiful image, you.
You liked that one? Anything especially?
