Understory ... Eeek!!!

Today's word is "understory" ... UHN-der-stour-ee ... the shrubs and plants growing beneath the main canopy of a forest. (Dictionary.com)

Eeek!!!
What is going on there ...
In the understory,
Where we cannot see,
Each tiny creature's glory?

Enlarged to human size,
Their complexity's a wonder,
Multi-colored and segmented,
Their calls would sound like thunder!

So we can be grateful,
That we are gigantic,
Or we would often find ourselves,
Running wild and frantic!
