Crescent Island

On a crescent shaped island with ocean submerged rocks,

Contoured and covered in deep maroon sand; nice for pleasant walks.

Beautiful lighthouse up on a broken hill standing high,

For years, flashing its warning light; to boats and passers by.

Glimpses of shiny ocean seen,

in the valley down below, among leaves so green and flowers so keen.

Narrow walking path leading up to a lonely little fort.

Pleasant in the shadows but under the sun, hot.

Leading us around the area are slim uneven pavements with a road that is steep.

For most travellers so many wonderful memories to keep.

Pathways dotted with little shops, restaurants and cafes;

tourists can stay here in bliss for days.

A few miles into the ocean is black volcanic rock,

surrounded by deep azure water and springs that are hot.

A few Boats and ships sailing around,

with a long zigzag pathway to the dock; where they are bound.

Distinct coloured beaches in red, white and black,

All carved from mountainous residue; this alluring island has back to back.

Whitewashed structures with blue dome churches, clinging to the tall red slopes,

Breadth taking sights and views bringing us new hopes.
