An octave inspired by an article in today’s Times

Draining the Reefs of Colour

Algae-nourished coral blooms in vivid hues

Spawning a reef of pinks and blues

Triggered by length of days

And the cycle of the moon

In danger of erosion

Resulting from pollution

Bleaching coral to bone white spectres

Draining the reefs of colour
