A red howler monkey
stretches, sways
lazes in the tree tops
and brays
a loud howl.
On my recent trip to the Rain-forest, I had the opportunity to see two howler monkeys--this red howler and a night howler. The monkeys get their name from the loud howling noises they make.
Have you ever written a poem about monkeys? Today is a great day to try writing a monkey poem.
Joy,
ReplyDeleteHow about a family of howlers, wouldn't they be noisy neighbors? Worse yet, a red howler family on the right and a night howler family on the left. There goes the neighborhood!

Going out tonight is my guess.
I'm glad you were able to go to the rainforest. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. What kind of camera did you use? I hope your husband's father is doing better.
Love, Joan
Love this one, Joy, and I will show the teachers I am working with tomorrow (topic: rainforest)
