Hope's Poem

The Ocean


Aqua waves are like flowing koru creeping towards the sand.

Golden sand is like shattered glass sparkling on the ground.

Speeding boats are gleaming pearls bobbing on the calm water.

Fluorescent coral is like underwater rainbow trees sitting amongst the clear water.

Slimy seaweed is like a grey eel wriggling through the smooth rocks.

Ragged rocks are like sharp ice cutting at my feet.

Dainty creatures are like small feathers drifting through the wind.

Warm sand dunes remind me of my puffy cushions gathered on my bed.
