SE Peru is a bit too far.... if one walks (got no car) . And if I sat on a hill of ants.... I'd suffer bites inside my pants.... UNLESS, I too, got a tarantula...., but maybe it's a bad idea. Duh! ! ! Well done poem and interesting poet's note. Thanks. I really enjoyed rhyming, especially eggs/dregs. But rhyming would have been tough in last couplet if they lived in Zambia; you got lucky. To MyPoemList. Bri Welcome back. :)

Beautifully written. I can almost envisage this wonderful partnership from the depths of the Perivisn forests..❤️
i THOUGHT the title sounded familiar!
