Great barrier reef - My home
By Charlotte B

The foaming waves dot the sparkling blue quilt,
The thrashing, churning water is never show in the murky depths,
A shining sheet of glass,
Protecting the beautiful treasure hidden below,
The crystal clear water surrounds my legs,
Fish swim through my toes,
A great big family,
The seaweed reaches and grabs me,
Trapping me,
Holding me,
Keeping me in the stunning oasis that is the sea,
A maze of colourful corals,
Vibrant against the clear water,
The sky becomes dark,
The first signs of a storm,
Bright tridents stab the water,
Lighting up the water,
The raging, wild beast above darkens the bright city below,
Creating a place where nightmares live,
But this is my home.
