Analysis of Natural Wonders



There are natural wonders seen in water falls:
the mighty Niagara plummets and enthralls.
There are natural wonders seen in mating calls:
the cozy encounter progeny installs.

There are natural wonders seen in ocean reefs:
the awed Great Barrier deepens held beliefs.
There are natural wonders seen in flesh motifs:
the statuesque bodies stand in bas-reliefs.

There are natural wonders seen in rousing peaks:
the heady Everest heightens all mystiques.
There are natural wonders seen in love techniques:
the exciting embrace exceeds best critiques.

There are natural wonders seen in channel firth:
the Inlets of Scotland contour flawless girth.
There are natural wonders seen in infant birth:
the exact replica reproduced on earth.
