The Great Barrier Reef

Nature Poetry By National Geographic

It's sixteen hundred miles long                         or even get your swimsuit wet 

along the Queensland coast                              to see this awesome place;

the barrier reef whose name is "Great"             the reef's so huge it's visible 

and that's  no idle boast.                                    by astronauts in space.

It's sixteen hundred miles long                           To think, you can be orbiting

and every inch alive.                                           the earth while looking at

Perhaps you'd like to have a look ?                    a teeming turtle, dolphin, whale,

You do not need to dive                                     and porpoise habitat.

                                                                           

                                                                          Your eyes will tell the story

                                                                            and you will not doubt its moral: 

                                                                            there's hardly anything on earth

                                                                            more beautiful than coral.
