An Island Is Born

Original link for the story

I have been watching an island this size from a distance and the effect is poetic. The island changes shape. It's not the same throughout. Some days it looks like the letter O, sometimes a C, sometimes an L, sometimes an S. And sometimes you don't see it at all, but this is very rare. It all depends upon the play of tide on it. The island is very white at times too, and sometimes very pink. This is the effect of corals on it. I wrote a poem about this island, in fact.

I hope this one doesn't disappear.
