The Monkey

Monkey, monkey with thick fur

why do you live in the woods?

 

Family-leader monkey-protector

as big as squirrel you run for

your prey.

 

Monkey, monkey hiding in the trees

their big eyes helping them to see

 

As fast a shark fighting for its prey

the god of monkeys isn’t afraid

he is able to eat anyone in sight

even in the darkest of nights.

 

As they run on all fours

their nails dig into the ground

making a sound that anyone should be scared of.

  1. I like the comparison of the monkey to a shark fighting for its prey, it’s creative and makes for an interesting image. Quote: “As fast as a shark fighting for its prey”.
    To improve, you could try adding more detail to the description of the monkey’s appearance and actions. For example, describing the color of their fur, or the way they move through the trees.
    A question for the author: What inspired you to write about monkeys and why did you choose to focus on their strength and ferocity?
