Arran boasts
\nThe wondrous by-valve molluscs
\nEmbellished with the colours
\nOf a dream
\nA wonderland
\nA kaleidoscope of beings
\nOf architectural splendour
\nThat would seem<\/p>\n
Garlands and bouquets
\nOf darting fishes
\nAn enrichment of the sea bed
\nSuch a view
\nA haven of contentment
\nA reef of shells and stones
\nA living veneer
\nOne of the few<\/p>\n
As designers they prepare
\nAnd by arrangement
\nGeometric patterns everywhere
\nStars, their curling whirling
\nRibbons fronds and tentacles
\nAn amazing sight before one\u2019s eyes
\nWhich so many now will share<\/p>\n
The size of thirty tennis courts
\nImagine that will thee
\nIn moderate currents from the low tide mark
\nByssus threads now be
\nA living collage voguish a mat of life within
\nNets of just so many lasting friendships
\nWhere all win<\/p>\n
Vulnerable to the dreaded dredgers
\nThe awful trawl their vilest grabs
\nClearly Nature lost sight of man
\nAnd his ugly evil metallic crabs
\nSo many active these days they
\nLeave their gear and sail away<\/p>\n
A scenic beauty such perfection
\nA bonny startling reef of light
\nPrismatic features lift the Mood
\nThe prettiest of sight
\nA work of art in situ
\nPearl shells beauteous too
\naesthetic and just possibly
\nA colour matching hue<\/p>\n
Reassuring anyone
\nWho claps their eyes on this
\nA reef of so much living wealth
\nWhere rainbow prisms kiss
\nThe light such optimism
\nA promise from above
\nFor one just so discerning
\nThey are designed with love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
