This is an island
with the brilliance of the lagoon
a reef out in the sea
still as a mountain lake
The dazzling beach
blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple
bright with the efflorescence of tropical weed and coral
Decaying coco-nuts and palm saplings
darkness of the forest platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly
upheavals of fallen trees
The forest stirred, roared, flailed.
From William Golding's Lord of the Flies
I liked your use of colour and spacing for effect! Good job!
