Howler Monkey

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.
