This reminds me, Geeta, of my surprise at learning corals were livings things and not like stone. -Glen

Corals are living beings. That's why there is a great awareness about disturbing the underwater environment. Divers are warned not to touch or disturb the coral reefs.. In 2016, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia - 30% of the Reef's coral died in the heat wave. I was planning to write a short poem on this topic. Thank you Glen.

Snow castles like tender reefs that shed light, Sensational, attractive and wonderfully bright. Amazing portrayal. I have seen the world of corals myself through a glass bottom boat in those Islands but watching is one thing and re-creating the magic with words on paper is quite another. Awesome write. Thanks for sharing it, Geeta ji.

Hi Geeta, I know that you are a dancer and a poet. But, this series establishes that the nature lover in you overtakes both. Wonderfully describes the corals and the coral reef in Andaman sea. Very charming write. And the beautiful pic. Wow!

Snorkelling in the waters of Andaman Island, Seeing little rocks of corals perched on sea bed, Snow castles like tender reefs that shed light, Sensational, attractive and wonderfully bright. A beautiful poem, Andaman Islands so nicely described.
