(NEW POEMS WILL BE POSTED EACH MONTH)
THE DISCOVERY
Upon the rocking boat he stands
Gazing towards the the luscious land,
With shades of black, green and gold
A piece of earth to smell and hold,
Beneath the clouds the island grows
From arching peaks the water flows,
A feasting land in isolation
Found by a sailor's imagination,
A rugged coast with daunting cliffs
From north to east the current drifts,
Beaten beaches smoothed by tides
A pirate's cove where treasure hides,
Hidden below the grainy crust
Magma flows about to thrust,
Fertile richness feeding roots
A jungle canopy bears the fruit,
Gazing at the virgin land
Discovery by a roaming man,
Surrounded by an empty sky
A place to live, a place to die.

Paddle over white wash
Catch waves all day long (Travis)
(Travis)Jasmine blooms today
Fly in the wind tomorrow
It blooms once again(Jasmin)
(Jasmin)Swimming in the sea
The sun is shining brightly
Lying on the sand(Jerwin)
(Jerwin)Through the tropic winds
Her hair flows beautifully
Eyes glow as the sun shines(Rico)
(Rico)Sun so shiney
The trees are growing fast
Birds are so whiney(Kayla)
