Second Place

______________________________________

A place of 7000 islands
and natural beauty,
know as
Pearl of the Orient.

Images lovely to behold,
a rich and diverse history,
of pearl diving and much more.
History tells of, 
The Pearl of Loa Tzu,
and his discovery of 
a huge pearl from a 
fourteen pound clam !
Over 1000 years old !
Oh, sublime the many sunny beaches, 
divine the flavorful food,
colorful the vibrant festivals,
beautiful in spirit the people,
so rich the culture.

Crossroads of the Pacific Ocean
and the South Asia Sea,
the Philippines is a place,
where dreams can come true !

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for this... I am a Filipina, and your poem made me very proud of my country. By the way, I hope you can come to the Philippines. God bless you.

So beautifully written dear Constance. With brevity, you have amalgamated all that makes this land unique and covetable. Also the real essence of the country. Enjoyed this entry! All the Best...
