Excellence Award in the 'The Inside Story 2020' competition

Blue
Cyan, sapphire, midnight
The ocean is such a delight
The sky blending into the sea, so many shades of blue.

Gold
Yellow, amber, saffron
The sun glowing so warm, put your hats on!
The blonde speckles of sand shimmering like gold.

The gentle waves, so peaceful and heavenly
The perfect island paradise, the sea and sand in harmony.
