There is a Place

This was a poem I wrote in school. Can you guess where these places are?

There is a place I've seen, its beauty, rustic and quiet.
A place with a small lake surrounded by trees and a rough white fence as it's guard.

There is a place I've been, with flamboyant, firey trees and chilly air and picnic tables for eating pizza.
High up on a mountain.

There is a place I've heard of, where ponies roam freely and glaciers and caves dot the land.
There is a house there where books are translated from one language to another.

There is a place I know of, where humid air blankets everyone and dolphins swim in cool blue water and swans swim outside restaurants.
Where everyone has biked down a volcano.

There is a place I've imagined, with peaceful days and calm nights and golden sunlight and dreaming clouds everywhere.
I place I wish existed.

There is a place.

  1. That's beautiful, Emma.
    I'm guessing the third place is Iceland, and Phil lives in the house where books are translated..?
    And the fourth is somewhere you visited on your cruise, perhaps..?
    In any case all of these places sounds lovely! And maybe the last one does exist, and one day you'll visit it.
