The Cayman Islands, by Katy Hallmark (age 14)

THE CAYMAN ISLANDS

Some places make you want to jump for joy!
Some places make you want to sing!
And some places just bring out the poet in you.
A place that is beautiful
A place that is calm
A place where the stingrays
Do you no harm.
A place that is hot
Yet relaxing, so pretty
A tiny, little island –
Not a town or a city.
As your eyelids get heavy
And into a sleep you do drift
The sound of the ocean
Give your worries a lift.
Where the crystal blue sea
Laps at your feet
And as the warm golden sunset
The horizon it meets.
With palm trees for shade
And pure white sand underfoot
A cocktail in your right hand
And in your left lies a book.
Though the sun disappears
The waves continue to break
On to a picturesque beach
And a minute you take
To reflect that nothing
Gets better than this,
Everything that surrounds me
So impressive, what bliss.
The marine life such as turtles
A whole world under the sea,
It is this surreal island
That brings emotions to me.
This island’s a true wonder
In fact it is famous,
For this describes nothing but
The Islands of Cayman

Yes it really does bring out the poet in you!

Just ask me!
