Colin Amato Poet Rhyme

Beyond the Waves(Poem#7-High School Years)

It was once a proud land 
Where Roman, Greek, Egyptian architect loomed 
Many golden beaches of sand 
Now this land is full of gloom 

But proud it was, and proud it is
This island beneath the waves 
As the tides, made the citizens cry 
And throw their hands to the sky 
But nothing met those last breaths 
Save for salty water and death 

Now at the bottom of the ocean it lies 
Where many a hope dies 
Of ever finding a clue 
For the facts could never stick like glue 
It has been sought, fought by many 
But it had never been found 
This island below the ground 
And now its days are full of Mantis 
This island, of lost Atlantis
