The Colours of Australia

The colours of Australia Bright yellow and green The haunting arid outback And scenic pastoral scene Soft white virgin sand Coral reefs and inlet bays Silvery moonlit nights And red hot summer days Lavender and pink wild flowers Brown earth and dusty plain Aqua oceans, sparkling waters Stark red ochre terrain Orange crimson sunsets Rainbows and skies of blue our emerald rainforests Golden sunlight shining through The colours of Australia Its the gift we give to you.

I'm sure the PS rules don't allow the use of colourful language - maybe they mean something else :) I enjoyed this poem, for all the images you painted in my mind.
