This was a very creative acrostic poem, Anna-Marie! I am sure that Great Britain is as beautiful as you described it. All of the countries that you mentioned are ones that I hope to visit someday. Great work on this poem! Nicely done!...Thank you for the nice comments, once again!

Thankyou Kelly, sometimes it's easy to forget how much your own country has until you look to others, this was written originally after hearing a couple of people not being happy at what we have... sometimes we need remind ourselves... Glad you found this one! Appreciate your views!

I love that last line and can't wait to have national stuff like that one day for MY country. Great way to organize an Acrostic for a country.
