Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

I am the mysterious Chameleon
With my ever changing hue
Camouflaged beneath the palms
Amongst the rainforest dew

I am the vibrant flora
The exotic flowers as they bloom
The lush plantation spread afar
Along the crystal clear lagoon

I am the flamboyant Toucan
A bird of wonder and ore
My fluorescent feathering and bedazzling beauty
Keep the eye coming back for more

I am the fresh water of the cool rock pools
My waters calm and clear
The fauna bathe in my refreshing pools
Right throughout the year.
