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.
