Florida Florida Florida Poem by Sherif Monem

Florida, Florida is an adventure State
If you fall in love with Florida
Surely you can't be blamed
Florida offers a lot of varieties
It is large and awesome indeed
You can watch its marvels and wonders
It is called duely the sunshine state
Its shores extends from the Atlantic Ocean
to gulf of Mexico and the Key West
It was first discovered by the Spaniards
Juan Ponce de León in the sixteenth century
Florida has remarkable splendid cities
From Tallahassee and Jacksonville in the North
to the popular city of Miami in the South
Clearwater Beach and Saint Petersburg
Orlando and it's Disney World in the middle
Florida is magnet for tourist attractions
Bush Garden, Sea World and Cape Canaveral
Space exploration that tells another story
Florida is rich in its Orchards
Orange, tangerine and citrus
Sea water sports are bountiful and splendor
Deep sea fishing is rewarding and exciting
With blue skies touching the ocean in view
Florida is in hurryways rapidly growing
A retirement haven for the senior elders
In winter it a refuge for the snowbirds flock
Escaping the cold harsh winters of the north
Florida has many long stories to tell
from the time of the native Indian tribes
to the Spanish colonization in 1565
The stories of the St. Augustine refuge
and the Seminole Indian trail of tears
Now, looking ahead to roll welcome mat
Welcome to Florida for pleasure and joy
