About the Work
"A Proud Palm" gently draws readers into a tranquil beach scene, exploring themes of nature and serenity. The poem is rich with imagery, depicting a coconut falling and the palm acting as an umbrella, offering shade and coolness. The playful description of fish frolicking under rippling water adds a touch of whimsy, while the palm's proud stretch against the sky symbolizes resilience and grace.

A Proud Palm
A Poem by KAYA BUSTOS, 9 years old - BSB, Bahrain
A coconut falls finally
thick waves in the wind
The palm
An Umbrella
A shadow of darkness
Slowly cooling off the beach
Water rippling
as funny fish frolicking under the water
A proud palm stretching against the azure sky
