The Island Poem. Poem by margaret haig

The Island was there surrounded by sea,

Where the family stayed, so much to see;

The birds flying in the sky, and on the water too,

Yes! They were enjoying their holiday, it's true.


The Island stretched for many a mile, they could see,

With plenty of shells, and sand, the sunsets so pretty;

The Coconut palms, and date palms, to walk in the cool,

And the children enjoyed it all, for there was no school.


The husband enjoyed to go fishing each day,

The children loved to run on the sand and play;

The wife, she enjoyed it too, to rest under the tree,

Then she called them all at night, it is time for tea.


The Island holiday soon came to an end,

The children said, our holiday we can pretend;

That we are still on our lovely holiday retreat,

And remember the birds, and the birds so sweet.


Have you ever been to an Island, for a holiday?

Maybe you travelled far, to Queensland, is what you'd say;

Or was it somewhere in the Islands of the south see?

You'll know it was a holiday to feel so very free.
